Hi there,

You should prepare for a standard case + fit interview. 

I generally advise candidates "learn how to learn" i.e. train so that they are prepared to react to anything!

That being said, if you're short on time, I highly recommend you focus on cases that revolve around their line of work:

  • Strategy
  • Marketing
  • Pricing
  • Sales
  • Digitization

You should make sure you understand the following industries:

  • Automotive
  • Banking & Financial Institutions
  • Business Services
  • Chemicals & Materials
  • Construction
  • Consumer & Retail
  • Electronics & Semiconductors
  • Energy & Utilities
  • Healthcare & Life Sciences
  • Industrial Goods & Machinery
  • Insurance
  • Logistics & Distribution
  • Media & Entertainment
  • Private Equity & Venture Capital
  • Public & Social Sector
  • Software, Internet, Tech
  • Telecommunications
  • Travel, Tourism, Leisure
