III. CASE STUDY IN GROUP INTERVIEW

1. CASE STUDY

Objectives:

By the end of this session you should:

Understand what a case interview is
Be ready to begin case preparation:
Know what is expected in a case interview
Understand how to approach cases

1.1 What is a case interview

The case interview is a critical component of the recruiting process at major consulting firms
More time is often spent on cases than “fit” or “behavioral” interviews
Typically interviewees are given multiple cases in each round of
interviewing
Opportunity to demonstrate your problem solving abilities, interpersonal skills, creativity and adaptability

1.1.1 What is a case?

Verbal case:

A short verbal summary of a situation or complication is provided
Interviewee must ask probing questions to determine root cause and form recommendation

Written Case:

Detailed case is provided in written format, often including tables and/or graphs
Some analysis of data will be expected
Interviewee must respond to specific questions posed in the case

Combination of Verbal/Written:

A short verbal summary is provided, with supporting tables/graphs
Tables/graphs may be automatically provided, or only given in response to good questions

1.1.2. What are companies looking for in the case interview?

Analytical Skills

People skills

- Problem definition and solution
structuring

- Analytical ability

§ Quantitative capabilities

- Ability to:

§ Synthesize data

§ Think creatively

§ Tolerate ambiguity

§ Defend hypothesis

- Communication skills

§ Listening

§ Presentation / speaking

- Business acumen

- Confidence

§ Performance under pressure

1.2 How do you approach a case?

Process for Solving Cases

1.2.1 Process for Solving Cases – Clarify

Clarification is vital to ensuring your understanding of the problem

Listen closely to problem definition
Ask questions to improve understanding
Paraphrase the original question to confirm understanding

1.2.2 Process for Solving Cases – Structure

a. A structure will allow you to systematically investigate the issue

State your hypothesis upfront – this demonstrates insight
Develop a structure or framework to approach the problem
Let the interviewer know what structure you plan to use

b. Choose a framework to structure your answer:

Choose a framework that fits the problem, do not try to fit the problem into a framework
Develop your own framework or modify an existing framework,
as long as it makes sense – this demonstrates your adaptability
Avoid referencing a pre-made framework by its name – example: “I’m going to use Porter’s Five Forces to determine the issues affecting company X”
Outline the components of the framework in your own words

Problem Type	Framework Options
M&A/Execution	- Value Chain
Competitive Strategy	- Porter’s 5 Forces SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats)
Organizational	- 7-S (Strategy, Structure, Systems, Style, Staff, Skills, Shared Values)
Marketing	- 4 P’s (Product, Price, Place, Promotion) 3 C’s (Company, Competitors, Customers) Growth/Share Matrix 2x2 Matrix
Profitability	- Profit = Revenue – Cost Revenue = Price x Quantity Cost = Fixed Costs + Variable Costs
General	- Minto Pyramid

c. Additional tips on structuring:

Logical structuring is essential
Components should be MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive)
Structure your answers and how you think
Think out loud – say what you are going to say, say it and say what you said
Do not lose sight of your structure when speaking

1.2.3 Process for Solving Cases – Analyze

Analyze the problem using your chosen framework:

Explore each major area of your framework by asking the interviewer broad questions
Ask more specific questions about the areas that may result in useful information
Recap findings at the end of each area before moving on to the next one
Abandon areas that will not yield helpful information –take hints from the interviewer

1.2.4 Process for Solving Cases – Conclude

The conclusion is the “executive summary” of the case

Summarize your key findings
State recommendations – was your hypothesis correct?
Discuss potential risks related and possible mitigation strategies
Discuss implementation and next steps

Process for Solving Cases – DOs and DON’Ts

DOs

DON’Ts

Relax – Take a deep breath before you
start

Take your time (within reason) – Once the interviewer gives you the problem, ask for few minutes to structure your approach

Listen to your interviewer – ensure
understanding and take hints

Think out loud – make sure your thought process is structured

Be concise – Once you have identified underlying problems, begin to formulate possible recommendations

Ask logical questions - The interviewer will only provide information if you ask.

Make sure your questions follow your
structure

Be confident without being arrogant

Don’t jump to an answer right away

Don’t make assumptions without
clarifying with the interviewer

Don’t worry about the right answer,
worry about the right approach

Don’t exclusively rely on pre-made frameworks – modify or develop your own whenever possible

Don’t appear frustrated or flustered

2. TIPS

Be confident and respectful. You want to make sure your voice is heard during the interview, but you also do not want to dominate the interview. When you see an opportunity to speak, calmly do so, but do not cut other people off or appear too impatient and competitive.
Be a good listener. An important part of working with a team is being a good listener. Listen carefully to what both the interviewers and your fellow candidates are saying (use body language to signal your listening). When you answer a question, refer back to what the person before you said, which shows you were listening. Try to quickly learn (and say) the names of the candidates and the interviewers, which will further demonstrate your listening skills.
Be a leader. If you are working on a team project, find an opportunity to lead. This does not mean you should steamroll your group. Leading can be as simple as including everyone, and making sure everyone has a task. If you reflect on the project with the interviewer, be sure to give credit to your teammates.
Be yourself. While you should make your voice heard, do not feel like you have to be extremely vocal if you are shy. Answer questions thoughtfully – it is better to answer a couple of questions with purpose than to talk a lot without purpose. Being a good listener who answers questions carefully can still set you apart from the group without forcing you to be someone you are not.

IV.SOCIAL CASE (Ernst & Young)

Case study:

Smart or beautiful/good – looking? Which will you choose and explain (EY)

Answer:

Smart

Intelligence is what makes this world, provides bigger contribution to the humanity
Beauty inevitably fades due to an accident or through the process of time, knowledge can get you far in life, and stand with you forever
It is easy to find a beautiful person than an intelligent person
An intelligent person knows how to be beautiful by grace and charm
You will not do without your brains, but will do without your look
A beautiful person also needs the talent like singers, actors …

Beautiful/good – looking

Beauty makes them more confident
Beauty gets you further in some cases of modelling or acting
