Into the book
The case interview process can be thought of as a 30-minute mini-project, condensing the three-month project that a consulting firm carries out for a client into a single project.
Doing well in a case interview means more than just being good at the interview; it means being able to do well on consulting projects.
For this reason, consulting firms have long used case interviews as an interview tool.
No matter how excellent your academic background is, if you don't do well in the case interview, it's difficult to pass.
(From the editor's comments)

In this chapter, we'll explore the first interview process and show you how to prepare for each step.
Most consulting firms have two interviewers who each conduct the first interview for 45 minutes.
One interviewer will focus primarily on asking you questions about yourself and a short case interview, while the other interviewer will focus more on the case questions and less on you.
(From the text)

To determine the price, the mock interviewer should first ask about the cost.
The fixed cost is $500,000, and the variable cost is that one-third of the price must be paid to other platforms such as Apple.
And the royalty that must be paid to the artist per download is $0.50.

Publisher's Review
The best-written case interview book chosen by current professionals at McKinsey & Company, BCG, Bain & Company, Kearney, Deloitte, LEK, Oliver Wyman, Roland Berger, etc.
Case in point!

Case interviews are full of difficult questions that are hard to get a feel for when you first encounter them.

When faced with such problems, we provide structure, quantification, and various techniques for responding.


If you studied business administration, you should know about various cases that can be said to be practical knowledge in the field.
It is intuitive and easy to understand, and is explained through examples.


I hope this will be of great help to those preparing for employment.
