Is This Case Structure Good ?
Background
I have a final Partner interview involving a case study, towards the end of next week. Without getting too much into detail, these are the facts:
The case is going to involve technology (technology strategy internship)
-
I have no idea how to structure cases
-
I have not practised "cases" at university. I did not know they were a thing.
-
The main problem above is, I don't know how to structure a case.
What I have done
I've done a lot of research involving cases. I've looked at alot of examples. I've written a sample case above, and I'm wondering if this is the right way to structure the case.
Here's an example of a case I did: IMGUR LINK
Questions
-
Is the above considered a complete answer? If not, what am I missing? EG: a "Recommendations" section?
-
Is it ok if I don't specifically mention the framework that I'm going to use? I don't really know much frameworks but I do know what to look out for in terms of markets, competitors, etc.
I am willing to pay someone if they are interested in going over some technology cases / prep with me
Looking for any and all advice!!!
Did you create the case structure given more information beyond the prompt? Or did you just structure it based on your own ideas what might be good?
To be honest, I would've structured it a little differently. Although there's no "right" way to do it here's what my approach would be:
So the overall approach I'd take is just attacking the root problem and drilling down to find a hint of the solution - essentially the first branch of your tree. While your third branch might be good to show that you're thinking about everything, I doubt that it'd be particularly relevant to explore in this case because it seems it's quantitatively driven (focused on cost-cutting and possibly profit) than qualitatively driven from a human perspective.
Make sure you support your points with targeted questioning and actual evidence instead of necessarily saying that "cutting marketing expenditure is good" unless you have some actual data to support it.
When it comes to your recommendations, you don't have to write them out, just say them/sum them up based on the evidence. You don't have to specifically mention the framework - you should walk your interviewer through it so they can follow your thought process but don't specifically say "I'm using XYZ framework".
If you want any other advice feel free to PM me.
