Casebook Request

Hi Ife,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

• First of all, while I wasn't able to find the two casebooks online, I wonder why you are particularly looking for these two. What is the reason for this?
• Moreover, in general, the case books I like are: Columbia, Darden, Esade, Fuqua, Kellog, LBS, McCombs, Michigan, Ross, Sloan, and especially Yale.

You can find more on this topic here: How to succeed in the final interview round.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare your application files, for your upcoming pre-interview assessments and/or interviews, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

PS: Thank you for your direct message. When you’re interested in the industry primers, I would strongly advise you to do the following instead: copy and paste the covered industries of your target consulting firms into a generative AI and ask it to generate a few paragraphs per industry for you. This will give you a much better and more up-to-date view of these industries than any (outdated) casebook could provide.

Ife, 

one piece of advice - if using business school case books, go broad and don't stick to only 1-2 of them. They tend to be biased in one way or another, since they are typically written by students who want to get into these firms in the first place. So I wouldn't take the suggested answers to ad litteram in that sense, nor set my expectations of what a case should look like on them.

Hey Ife, 

Please send me a DM with your email address and I'll shoot through the Ross '22 casebook to you. (I also have the '24 version and others if you'd like)

All the best bud
