There was an open-ended question about how I would improve a mall business, assuming I have a financial interest in its success. Also, what would I do if new investors or new space were available. It was not a "case" in the usual sense, but very open. For instance, I asked what data might be available about the mall's operation, and got in response the question of what data I might like to have.
