In this EY-Parthenon case study, your client is evaluating a potential acquisition and has brought you in to help determine whether to move forward or not.
You can solve the EY case study by applying the M&A Framework – but don’t rely too heavily on the basic frameworks. Consulting firms want to see you create a custom framework for the problem at hand, whether in a case interview, or on the job.
