Structuring:
The key concepts that you have to learn:
2) For M&A integration cases it was about understanding what should be the approach to Merging the companies. Make sure you cover:
3) For Synergies cases focused on people typically you use a value chain structure tailored to the industry (e.g. supply-production-distribution-marketing-after sales support) to calculate the overlaps and savings on people. Think of outsourcing and shared services as well. Also add Risks - major risks that can decrease the synergies (tip: don't underestimate the merging companies culture factor)
Good luck!
Feel free to reach me for further help with these cases.

Hey anonymous,
From my actual experience working in these topics at McK, you should be prepared not only to solve some traditional quantitative cases, but also to discuss deep and comprehensive qualitative questions around the topic - there's a lot of "more fluffy" (non quantifiable) angles and impacts in change management (i.e., pros and cons of each option)
