🎥 Here’s a consulting case interview focused on a state-level public policy decision.
A large U.S. state is considering raising the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20 an hour, following California’s lead. California’s policy boosted pay and reduced turnover but also led to shorter hours, fewer jobs, and franchise closures. Your firm has been hired to help the Governor’s office assess the trade-offs and decide whether this policy makes sense for their state.
Watch Matthew Calvert (ex-BCG Consultant, Fuqua MBA) run Abigail Doekson (ex-BCG Consultant, Yale MBA) through this strategy consulting case interview.
