Looking for Mergers and Acquisition Cases- Interviewer led/ McKinsey Style
2 answers
Hi Deborah,
you can easily find a good number of M&A cases for free online; in order to practice on that you can proceed as follows:
- Download some of the main free MBA handbooks available online. I would recommend one of the top business schools (INSEAD and MIT for example have some good ones).
- Skim the handbooks looking for M&A cases; if they are in readable pdf format, you can find them as simply as searching for specific M&A keywords.
- Read as many M&A cases as possible, then practice live with peers on PrepLounge; if you still have doubts or can’t see significant progress, you may consider booking an expert session to improve further.
Hope this helps,
Francesco
Hi, Thanks for this, I have over 60 case books and have been through a number of them but honestly there are not many M & A Cases in them. If you do know any with some do let me know the names and I can skim through those books. Hope to hear from you soon! — Tomi on Oct 08, 2017
Hi, I have M&A cases which I do with my students (Both DD and synergy types). Unfortunately can't share here since they are from the real interviews. Feel free to reach me if you need a session.
Thanks, if you know any public M & A resources that would be of great assistance! — Tomi on Oct 08, 2017
