Hello!
Congrats for the interview with A&M!
Unless they specifically told you so, the focus of the job does not have to correlate with the cases you are going to get.
Why? Because each interviewer has his/her own case, and who interviews you is mostly a matter of availability.
Hence, this would be my advise in the business case front prep (knowing that you also have the FIT part)
You don´t have any more time to the classics of Viktor Cheng, "Case in point" book, etc. You need to get hands on asap:
1. Practice cases with partners asap, as many as you can do.Find experienced partners who can provide a good feedback
2. Practice your math skills, both in your cases and with ad hoc exercisess, such as:
1. Multiplying double digit numbers (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ndkkPZYJHo
2. Leveraging math tools (Mimir math for iOS), Math tool on Viktor Cheng website to practice
3. Ensure you have a good overview of the most common case types:
- 1. Profitability cases- basic profitability framework.
- 2. Idea generation cases: for any specif issue
- 3. Growth cases: market penetration, new product launch, product mix change, etc.
- 4. Pricing cases
- 5. M&A cases
- 6. Valuation cases
- 7. Value chain cases
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Clara
