Case
Study Method
Since Ivey’s inception in 1922, the case study
method has been the keystone of the school’s
approach to learning. The case method is active
learning by doing. Each case provides the
student with an opportunity to stand in the
shoes of the decision-maker, analyzing the
business issue presented, making judgments and
determining a course of action. Ivey is the only
school in Canada that adheres to the case study
method. A relatively small number of schools are
dedicated to the case study method of learning,
including Harvard Business School in Boston and
Darden School of Business at the University of
Virginia.
The Richard Ivey School of Business is the
largest producer of business cases after Harvard
Business School, and the world’s foremost
producer of Asian case studies. Top-tier
Canadian and International business schools use
Ivey cases to support discussions on
business theory.
Cross-Enterprise LeadershipTM
In September 2005, Ivey introduced a new model
for business education that recognized and
encompassed fundamental changes in the business
world due to globalization and technological
advances and their impact on the role of the
“general manager”. Ivey’s
Cross-Enterprise Leadership focus
acknowledges these changes by structuring its
programs’ curriculum on enterprise wide business
issues and faculty research around four current
Cross-Enterprise Leadership issues:
