Today I’m going to talk about a very important aspect of the case interview, which is your conclusion to the case problem. The conclusion is often the aspect that doesn’t get the attention it really deserves, just like the introduction.

Sales in these industries skyrocket in January with some spill-over momentum in February.

If you think that you can relax after getting that fabulous MBA internship offer from your dream company, then you are partly right. While it’s important to relax after your internship hunt marathon, the smartness doesn’t lie in dealing with things as they come.

At the end of each day, we are often spent, exhausted, and, frankly, glad to be out of the building! So why would any self-respecting chief executive choose to jump into an even deeper time and energy suck like the prospect of writing a book?

If I were to say that April 21, 2017 marked a momentous occasion in the history of not just the UK, but globally, I’m sure many people would be puzzled. For most, it was a regular Friday in a long list of Fridays in which nothing extraordinary happened. But something remarkable did happen—something that hadn’t happened in 135 years. It was the first full day since January 1882 in which no coal was used to generate electricity in the UK. 1.

Reflecting on a recent trip to Dubai, I realise that it’s not very often that you hear someone in that part of the world talking about things being “too big”. From the 828m-high Burj Khalifa—still the tallest building in the world—to the supersized, super-stocked aquarium in the Dubai Mall, to the Palm—one of the world’s largest artificial islands, “too big” is the region’s version of “just right”.
