Booz Allen Hamilton is one of the country's largest technology and management consulting firms. Last year it began discussions about splitting into two, separating the government business, based in McLean, from the commercial unit, based in New York. The growth in federal contracting lifted the government unit's revenue in recent years, but a disproportionate share of profit flowed to the commercial unit, causing some internal tension.
