I have an interview with Strategy& for their Deals Technology Strategy team? I am really confused about the kind of cases to expect? Would they be similar to general MBB style cases on M&A/ Growth or too tech inclined

Hi there,

Having experience across Big 4 strategy houses, cases for Strategy& Deals Technology Strategy typically sit between classic strategy and technology focused problem solving. You should expect M&A, carve out, or growth related cases, but with a clear technology lens rather than pure general strategy. For example, assessing the tech implications of an acquisition, IT integration risks, digital operating models, or how technology enables value creation post deal.

They are usually not deep technical or coding cases. Instead, interviewers look for structured thinking, comfort discussing technology at a conceptual level, and the ability to link tech decisions to business impact. Preparing with MBB style M&A and growth cases is very relevant, but it helps to also be familiar with tech due diligence and post merger integration topics at a high level.

Happy to help you prep if useful.

hey there :)

Based on my experience, cases for Strategy& Deals Technology Strategy usually combine classic deal and growth logic with a strong focus on how technology supports or limits value creation. You can expect topics like acquisitions, separations or growth decisions, but discussed through questions around IT architecture, integration feasibility, digital capabilities or operational impact rather than pure high level strategy. The cases are not technical in an engineering sense, but they do test whether you can think clearly about technology as a business enabler and risk factor. Solid preparation with MBB style M&A cases works very well if you consciously add a tech perspective on top. Happy to help further if you want to go deeper.
