17.    Segment Information

The Company is organized based on the types of services provided. Under this organizational structure, the Company's business segments are:

 

¡  

Risk and Insurance Services, comprising insurance services (Marsh) and reinsurance services (Guy Carpenter); and

 

¡  

Consulting, comprising Mercer and Oliver Wyman Group

With the sale of Kroll in August 2010, along with previous divestiture transactions between 2008 and 2010, the Company has divested its entire Risk Consulting and Technology segment.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used for the consolidated financial statements described in Note 1 to the Company's 2010 10-K. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment operating income, which includes directly related expenses, and charges or credits related to integration and restructuring but not the Company's corporate-level expenses. Revenues are attributed to geographic areas on the basis of where the services are performed.

Selected information about the Company's operating segments for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:
