Engaging Emerging Markets Case Studies

Case studies are interactive, dynamic, and participant-driven teaching tools designed to guide students through real-world case examples of business issues. Students learn to analyze information, develop rational alternatives, make decisions, and recommend implementation tactics in time-sensitive situations, just as they would as practicing managers.

Ivey is the second largest producer and distributor of field based management case studies in the world. These cases are used extensively in our degree and executive education programs, and are also available to other universities, business and government organizations.

 

 We have identified emerging markets cases within the Ivey database and classified them into subcategories. We also regularly add cases to these following subcategories. Follow the links to view searchable case lists from our interactive database at Ivey Publishing.

Ivey is the first Canadian business school to join United Nations' Global Compact initiative. The Global Compact (www.globalcompact.org) was launched by United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 1999. His challenge was for business leaders to join an international initiative to bring together companies with UN agencies, labour and civil society to support universal environmental and social principles. The Global Compact encompasses 10 main principles in four categories – Human Rights, Labour Standards, Environment and Anti-Corruption. Follow the links below for abstracts of Ivey cases and publications on:

Human Rights

Principle 1: Businesses should support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights; and
Principle 2: make sure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses.

Labour Standards

Principle 3: Businesses should uphold the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining;
Principle 4: the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labour;
Principle 5: the effective abolition of child labour; and
Principle 6: the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation.

Environment

Principle 7: Businesses should support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges;
Principle 8: undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility; and
Principle 9: encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies
