Rand Company was formally established in June 1948+0 1. Headquartered in Santa Monica, California, USA, it has an office in Washington, D.C., which is responsible for contacting the government. During World War II, a group of American scientists and engineers took part in military work and applied operational research to combat, which achieved great success and was highly valued by the ruling and opposition parties. After the war, in order to continue this work, 1944 1 1 in June, General henry arnold, then commander of the Army Air Force, put forward a memorandum on the US R&D plan after the war and the next world war, demanding that these personnel be used to set up an "independent research institution for objective analysis between officials and people", "to avoid future national disasters and win the next world war". According to this proposal, at the end of 1945, the US Army Air Force signed a "R&D" plan with a value of100000 US dollars, which is also known as the "Rand Plan". The name "Rand" is the abbreviation of the English word "research and development". Soon, the United States Army Air Force became an independent air force. 1948 In May, under the sponsorship of 1 10,000 dollars donated by Ford Foundation, the "Rand Project" broke away from Douglas Aircraft Company and formally established an independent Rand Company. Rand's strength is strategic research. It has done a lot of predictive and long-term research, and put forward many ideas and predictions that the parties did not think of at all, and then it took a long time to be confirmed. It is through these accurate predictions that Rand has established its credibility in the consulting industry all over the world. At the beginning of its establishment, RAND Company was not well-known at that time, and its research results were not taken seriously. There is a rumor in China that one thing made Rand famous. On the eve of the Korean War, Rand organized a large number of experts to evaluate the Korean War and predict whether China would send troops to Korea. The conclusion is only one sentence: "China will send troops to North Korea". At that time, Rand wanted to transfer the research report to the Pentagon for $5 million. However, the top US military officials did not agree with Rand's report. In their view, the new China at that time did not have the possibility of sending troops regardless of human and financial resources. However, the development and ending of the war were accurately stated by Rand. This incident made American political circles, military circles and even the whole world look at RAND with new eyes. After the war, the Pentagon spent 2 million yuan to buy this overdue report. In fact, this is a fictional story. After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union dominated the world. The United States has always wanted to know about the development of satellites in the Soviet Union. 1957, RAND Company predicted in detail the time when the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite. As a result, it was only two weeks away from the actual launch time, which shocked the Pentagon. Since then, Rand has truly established its position in the United States. Since then, RAND has successfully predicted the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the Cuban missile crisis, the Great Depression of the United States and the reunification of Germany. These predictions made RAND famous and became the chief think tank of American political and military circles.

Rand's research achievements have attracted worldwide attention. He has published more than 8000 research reports/kloc-0, 3 papers100 in journals and nearly 200 books. Among hundreds of research reports every year, 5% are confidential and 95% are public, and these 5% confidential reports are constantly being decrypted with the passage of time. These reports include China's air force in the 2nd/Kloc-0th century, China's automobile industry, Japan's defense plan, Japan's high technology, Russia's nuclear forces, South Korea and North Korea, and the rapid reaction forces of the United States in the digital battlefield. Rand Corporation is known as the "think tank" and "brain concentration camp" of the United States, which affects and influences the decision-making of a series of major affairs in the United States, such as politics, economy, military affairs and diplomacy.

While providing decision-making services for the U.S. government and military, RAND Corporation uses a large number of world-class think tanks to provide a wide range of decision-making consulting services for the business community, and enjoys a worldwide reputation for the accuracy and authority of "enterprise diagnosis". Rand analysts believe that 85% of every 100 large enterprises in the world go bankrupt because of careless decision-making by enterprise managers. With the intensification of global business competition, the decision-making ability of enterprise managers largely determines the future and destiny of enterprises.
