Cross-Enterprise
LeadershipTM
In 2006, the Richard Ivey School
of Business embarked upon a
new approach to management
education called
Cross-Enterprise Leadership™.
The objective of
Cross-Enterprise Leadership is
to provide graduates with the
skill and capacity to predict,
analyze, strategize and act upon
issues that span the entire
enterprise, such as
globalization, competition,
productivity and innovation. It
is a marked departure from the
traditional approach to
management education, which
emphasizes the teaching of
functional disciplines (e.g.
finance, accounting, marketing,
and strategy) and matrix
management (project-driven
assignments).
The School’s decision to embrace
a new approach to management
education was in response to
extensive consultations with
alumni and stakeholders, who
constitute an important segment
of the global business
community, on their specific and
evolving needs. The
transformation impacts all
facets of the School, including
its programs (MBA, EMBA, HBA,
and Executive Education),
research, and organization.
The MBA is the first
program to fully reflect the
School’s new approach to
management education. Ivey now offers a one-year format, which
is already the norm in many
parts of Europe and is offered
by highly regarded business
schools such as INSEAD and IMD.
There are two MBA cohorts
per year, commencing in May and
October.
Ivey’s renowned case study
method continues to play a
central role in the curriculum.
New cross-enterprise cases,
developed specifically for the
Ivey program, expose
students to current issues and
help them build frameworks for
cross-enterprise thinking,
action, and leadership. Our
real-time cases help students to make sense of
current issues and challenges
facing executives. [more
