Hi there, I would start by asking some general questions to have a better feeling on the case: 1) Does our client provides this new service elsewhere? If not, does our client already has the cap... (more)
If I understand your questions correctly, you are trying to figure out the difference between analyzing the overall market (or an industry), vs. the subsections of the market that a particular company... (more)
Hi Elisey, I would personally not recommend to use a single framework for all the so-called business situations (M&A, Entry, New product, Operations etc). Although this would help to more easil... (more)
Hi Anonymous, this is how I would structure a market entry analysis: 1) Goal clarification. It is always good to start with the end in mind – thus what is the specific reason why you want to ent... (more)
It's a badly framed question but that is no reason you should have a badly thought-out response. Sometimes interviewers will ask these just to tell whether you jump into a "5%? 10%?" guess-work or use... (more)
Dear Anonymous, Congratulations on your final assessment step!. The structure of your presentation should be similar to the structure you would present in a case interview (remember, there is no co... (more)

Hello Gerard, 1. For me the answer is MECE. Students and business people calendars are totally different types and purposes than the one you'd fine in the middle of a kitchen. 2. I would have sp... (more)
Hi! You are right - such a laundry list of buckets to look into feels (and actually is!) completely arbitrary. A structure to approach a case should be rooted in the actual question that you need to... (more)
Hi Anonymous, frankly speaking, what you outlined above is NOT a case structure! It does NOT show in any way how you are thinking about the problem and how you are going to answer the question! What... (more)
