🎥 Here’s a pricing consulting case interview focused on the impact of tariffs on a major US manufacturing company.
Caterpillar, a global construction equipment giant, is navigating new tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico. While its U.S.-based production gives it a short-term cost advantage, long-term uncertainty clouds investment decisions. Your firm has been hired to help Caterpillar respond: Should they use this edge to chase market share or boost margins?
