Strategic Case Analysis: Business Concepts, Strategy Frameworks, and Solved Cases as Socratic Dialogues

Strategic Case Analysis demonstrates that solving a business / strategy case in a structured manner can be a pleasant and worthwhile experience. All cases in the 'Solved Cases' chapter, baring one, use the Socratic dialogue approach between the interviewer / client / CEO and the interviewee / consultant. These dialogues reach the length and breadth required to build rapport with the interviewer, unearth the data needed to be gathered prior to solving the case by applying a judicious mix of common sense and various strategy frameworks outlined in the book, and provide a thoroughly detailed solution / summary by the consultant towards the end of the case. A comprehensive set of basic frameworks, advanced frameworks, and business concepts make this book an attractive reference for MBA students who aspire for high-powered management / consulting careers as well as for seasoned executives / business owners who need a management guide to help them with their strategic business decisions. A glossary of financial ratios is also provided. This book will be a useful reference for many years for the practicing business professional.
