Worked case studies filed under Interview Questions.
This archive collects the case prompts as interviewers actually deliver them: the opening question, the exhibits handed over mid-case, and the follow-ups that probe whether your structure was real or decorative. Reading a solved case teaches you the shape of a good answer. Working from the raw question teaches you to produce one. Use these under time pressure and out loud, ideally with a partner reading the prompt and withholding the exhibits until you ask. The habit worth building is the one interviewers score hardest: restate the question, confirm the objective, lay out your structure before touching a number, and say what you would need to know to move forward. Solutions are provided, but open them only after you have committed to an approach — the value of this material is entirely in the gap between what you produced and what the solution shows.
A growth strategy case interview asks how a business can increase revenue, profit or another stated measure of scale. You compare growth within existing markets with new products, customers or locations.
A cost reduction case interview asks you to lower a company’s spending while protecting the outcomes its customers need. You identify cost drivers, test why costs are high, and compare savings with implementation costs and risks.
A market entry case interview asks whether a business should enter a new market and how it should compete there. You assess demand, competition, the client’s capabilities and entry economics.
An M&A case interview asks whether a company should buy, merge with or invest in another business. You assess strategic fit, the target’s economics, deal value and integration risk.
