Plus, they share which retailers could be next to join the battle.

Update: Prime Day 2025 is already off to a slower start - early spending is down 14% from last year. Read the Bloomberg report.

Welcome to the final episode of the Intro to Casing series! We’re closing things out with a twist: a Deloitte-style Human Capital case that dives into team dynamics, motivation, and organizational challenges at a historic English football club.

While this case focuses on people and culture, it's not just for candidates targeting HR, change management, or human capital roles.

This episode will help you stay sharp for any curveball case interview.

Key Takeaways:

• Approaching organizational behavior and hybrid strategy cases
• Balancing qualitative insights with quantitative analysis
• Why top firms test flexibility and empathy under pressure
