I agree with the other candidates. The 'hard Ss' are the more concrete elements of an organization. I'm just hoping I don't get any 'soft Ss' questions - those might be a bit trickier!

Ha! I bet the exam writers thought they were being clever by including 'Ss' in the question. Classic McKinsey wordplay!

Hmm, I'm not so sure. I think E might also be part of the 'hard Ss'. Capabilities and competencies seem pretty tangible to me.

I think B, C, and D are the correct answers. The 'hard Ss' refer to the more tangible and measurable aspects of an organization, like procedures, management, and employees.
