Business Concepts

Within Business Concepts we describe the most common analyses that you can run to solve case problems and that have been battle-tested in everyday practice (e.g. ABC analysis, benchmarking). In addition we clarify business terms or consultant lingo that you should know and be aware of. Knowing this will help you convince the interviewer even if you lack a business background.
