书籍介绍
这不是一本教你背诵框架、把case答得漂漂亮亮的应试手册,而是一本重塑你商业思维方式的入门书。读者反复提及的,是书中那种近乎苛刻的职业态度:你的观点不值钱,真正有价值的是提出客户从未想过的问题、用数据支撑出反直觉的结论、在有限时间里克制住'煮沸整片海洋'的冲动,只舀起一杯水。作者Victor Cheng以麦肯锡前顾问兼面试官的双重身份,拆解了'五分钟假设'为何在麦肯锡'指令型'面试中失效,以及为何case interview本质上是工作经历的模拟。它适合两类人:一类是渴望叩响咨询行业大门、想'像职业分析师那样思考'的新人;另一类是质疑'不喜欢case就是不喜欢工作'这一论断、希望先想清楚再入场的清醒者。

  • "Boil the entire ocean and then scoop up one cup of the boiling water."
  • "Before I state a hypothesis, I'd like to ask a few clarifying questions. The Five-Minute Hypothesis Rule will not work in a certain type of case interview. Most McKinsey offices use an interview-led, or "command and control," format that artificially breaks up a case into semi-independent sections. "
  • "State action-oriented recommendation/conclusion - Supporting point 1, 2, 3. “I can conclude that sales are not causing the profit problem, because first, sales have remained unchanged in the past year, and second, costs have gone up by $10 million and account for 100 percent of the problem.

最有用的一本。根据Business situation 来制作自己喜欢的structure,十分方便。同时对于consulting行业的解释也是最通俗易懂又right to point的。FULL OF INSIGHT!
这么有名的书没几个人打分说明干这行的都不上豆瓣吧~友情提示:书的内容和那个workshop videos 的内容是一样的~书更详细些。
在原则上、大局上、战略上培养咨询思维的一本书,教你如何像职业商业分析师来思考咨询面试问题,不过因为和Case in Point大体概念重合所以没有太大帮助。 Chris
读完后收获有限。不过可以参考刀刀的笔记:https://forum.chasedream.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1348685&page=1&fid=82&showoldetails=yes
精读10小时,做了24页(A5)笔记。结构部分的精华在Victor Cheng大神的这5页PDF里(里头有个拼写错误…)。https://www.caseinterview.com/case_interview_frameworks.pdf
是谁研究生还没入学就开始准备求职?
