Hi
I am studying Engineering and
have started preparing for case interview with strategy
consultancies. Does anyone know of a suitable book, something like
"business strategy for beginners"?
Does anybody know of a good
place to find useful statistics for guesstimates? |

You know the basics:
- Why are manhole covers round?
- How many diapers were sold in the US last year?
- How many gallons of oil does a supertanker carry?
The more difficult (but easier for engineering students) involve questions like 'how can you derive which coin in a bag of coins is a fake with x machine and x amount of weighings?'
Just keep practicing those and rely on your own good sense for the rest of the interview!
