JPM IBD case study/role play

Could anyone please explain what the JPM case studies/role play exercises are about?
I've been told that a couple of years ago it was mostly valuation, but I would like to know what they look like today.

Thank you very much in advance.

t-jfkThe hard part is when you're in the group discussion and have to play devils advocate for one of crappier opportunities. I know they used 5 this year according to a friend.

This too. Just make sure you aren't seen to be dominating the group. Ideally try to be "second in command" and always try and steer the conversation towards constructive decisions.

Oh, I see. This is a very helpful reminder for me since sometimes I try way too hard to lead/dominate.

unless you have one of those loud mouth idiots that steer you into making terrible decisions ugh. I hate when I get those types in project groups.
