History

The company was founded by university professors Péter Horváth and Erich Zahn, as well as entrepreneur Hans-Georg Winderlich as IFUA Institut für Unternehmensanalyse in October 1981.[4] In the following years, employees entered the young company who significantly helped shaping the structure of the advisory group and who later held or still hold important appointments: Bernd Gaiser, Michael Kieninger, Reinhold Mayer, Andreas Renner and Christof Schimank. After the death of Hans-Georg Winderlich and the separation of Erich Zahn in 1989, the company was continued as IFUA Horváth & Partners GmbH. Together with his partners, Péter Horváth encouraged the development of new controlling methods (for example activity-based costing or the target costing approach) in his company. In the mid-1990s, he was involved in introducing the concept of the balanced scorecard in Europe.

In 2000, the company re-organized itself: Horváth AG was founded as a holding company of the Horváth & Partners group and issue-areas as well as industry expertise were bundled into competence centers. Péter Horváth took over the Chairmanship. To this day, this re-organized board and the partners are responsible for the management of the holding and its subsidiaries.

In 2006, the company became a member of Cordence Worldwide,[5] an international network of independent consulting companies. In 2008, the company reached 400 employees and the group surmounted 100 million euro in sales for the first time. In 2012, the company was ranked ninth after Bain & Company in the German consulting industry by the business news magazine Wirtschaftswoche.[6] In terms of turnover, Horváth & Partners is the fourth largest business consultancy with German origin.[7]

gollark: - I believe we should end racial discrimination by replacing computer monitors with 1-bit black and white displays so race cannot be distinguished.
gollark: - As eating meat places suffering on millions of innocent animals, I believe animal meat should be replaced with human flesh from donors, as humans are able to meaningfully consent to this while animals are not (and don't get a choice in practice anyway).
