Hi all, 

Does anyone know where can I find the latest version of the casebooks such as Kellogg and INSEAD, or share them? 

Thank you!

Hi lulia,

I do have all of the MBA case books but I'm sorry as that is reserved for candidates.

That said, here is a HUGE list here of free cases:

https://www.firmsconsulting.com/quarterly/case-interview-examples/

That should keep you busy for a while :)

=================================================

BUT please remember that what matters most is your caser. Most cases are somewhat unrealistic and no case perfectly matches what will happen in the interview. Newer doesn't mean better.

Reading a case is NOT doing a case.

Rather, you need to get wide exposure to all types of case (both standard and nonstandard ones) and all types of interviewers.

Much more important than just reading a "hard" McKinsey case or having a friend case you in it, is actually how you're cased. I can make the easiest case be your worst nightmare (as can any other coach). Make sure that, if you're really trying to get pushed hard and get prepared for the toughest cases, you're looking at hiring a coach...delivery is truly key here!

The newer the case doesn't matter. Having 100+ cases doesn't help.  Reading case books has diminishing returns.

You need to get people to case you.

Just be aware that being the latest version or not doesn't really make a big difference.
