Ivey Business
School and The Nanyang Business School
Partnership
In 2000, the
Richard Ivey School of Business in Canada (Ivey)
and The Nanyang Business School (NBS) in
Singapore launched a major collaboration to
promote Case Study Teaching and Writing in
Singapore and Southeast Asia.
The collaboration was made possible by The Lee
Foundation, a major philanthropic organization
in Singapore. Over the next five years, The Lee
Foundation's support enabled Ivey to build
synergy with NBS, in developing and promoting
business case studies in Singapore and in South
East Asia.
Key components of the collaboration:
-
Appointment of a joint professorship to
develop the collaboration between Nanyang
and Ivey, and to promote the case teaching
and research in NBS.
- Case
workshops will be conducted at the newly
launched Asian Business Case Centre set up
at the Nanyang Business School. The Centre
will promote case study teaching and writing
as a means of researching business issues,
organizations and personalities in Asia, and
the centre will seek out strategic partners
to support these goals.
-
Appointment of a case writer, based in
Singapore, to research and publish business
cases on Southeast Asia.
- Unlimited
access to Ivey case resources for the
business schools of Nanyang Technological
University, National University of Singapore
and Singapore Management University, with
the Nanyang Business School managing the
infrastructure to support their use.
"Ivey has,
over the last 10 years, built up
considerable expertise and knowledge in the
area of management case study teaching and
development and is the world's largest
producer of current Asia-Pacific case
studies," said Dean Neo at the agreement
signing ceremony in Singapore. "We have set
up the
Asian Business Case Center at the
Nanyang Business School to promote the
teaching, writing of, and learning through
case studies about business issues,
organizations and personalities in Asia.
This strategic collaboration with Ivey will
enable the Centre to benefit from the
intellectual capital of Ivey in this area."
