Case studies are an MBA staple. As a b-school student, you will be solving case studies to understand businesses, the challenges they have faced and how they overcame it.

Be it a b-school interview or an interview for your dream job (consulting peeps - do I have your attention now?), you'll need to know how to solve case studies at the back of your hands. If you can look at the latest business news and crack the code of why a certain company's stocks are rising by the hour, that's a magic trick you need up your sleeve.
