Case Study – Exercise 1: Chunky Fries Limited

This Case Study resource is aimed at assisting those preparing for Assessment Centre workshops.

Case studies often consist of a certain amount of reading time and then a chance for you to present your findings, conclusions and opinions to the assessors. This could be in the format of news articles, a real business scenario or a mock commercial scenario (such as the one included within this resource).

You will usually have to identify key parts and summarise key information about the scenario. There may be specific nuances that are relatable to the firm you are applying to and sometimes the firm uses issues that they face time and time again.

This resource is designed to help you practice a Case Study assessment. It allows you to compete the assessment before the guide goes on to explain the marking scheme, how you will be assessed and worked examples of common solutions. There is also a tips page on how to do well.

We hope this resource will help you to succeed at Assessment Centres this cycle.
