Don't be fooled by the term "mini-case." It is a short case that is based only on graphs and data, so be very comfortable with calculating margins, ROI, payback, relative market share etc. This is where they really test your calculation capabilities so if you make errors here you'll likely get cut (you can't make computational errors on the job!)

Was given a case study, typically from the interviewer's project experience. One case was more qualitative (i.e. how would you implement a social network at a company) while the others involved more quantitative analysis. The numbers were never very complicated, but the interviewer is looking to make sure that you can realistically break down a problem and articulate recommendations.

Our client who is in the retail business for consumer goods has very high electricity costs. Can you identify the different sources that require electricity in the stores?
