Ivey stands apart from traditional business schools because of its

differences Five interlinked elements give you not just the business

fundamentals that you would expect from an MBA program but

also the leadership capabilities required to turn concepts into

decisions, knowledge into action and ideas into change

The Ivey MBA opens your mind to how the business world really

works and prepares you to take challenges head-on

1.

How You Learn

We surround you

with the best and

brightest classmates,

and our Case-Method

Learning helps make

the most of their

diverse perspectives

and experiences

You learn how and when to apply core business knowledge

This cross-enterprise perspective of business combined with

accelerated leadership capabilities prepares you for uncommon career success

Welcome to one of the most influential networks you’ll ever tap into Ivey Alumni

They aren’t just leading the world of business, they’re also actively involved in your Ivey MBA experience

Most MBA programs view success as helping you secure your first job upon graduation

At Ivey, we offer the coaching and skills you need to create and navigate opportunities throughout your career

Ivey Case-Method Learning It’s simply better to learn by doing

Before you start asking to see a course outline, let’s make one thing perfectly clear How you learn is more important Because no matter how engaging a faculty member may be, you can’t be lectured into becoming a great decision-maker

From day one in the program, the pace is fast and unyielding, and the adrenaline rush is undeniable Each class is a journey through a complex, multi-disciplined business challenge You are immediately confronted with the reality that in business, things rarely fit into tidy functional boxes You’ll have too much information, or at times not enough, but through the program you’ll become comfortable making decisions when faced with uncertainty

Class preparation starts with each student tackling an individual assessment of the case and crafting a plan of action From there, you test your ideas with your learning team, and new ideas and strategies will emerge You’ll gain greater confidence in your decision, preparing you for class itself The Ivey classroom is the final step, opening up the debate to diverse perspectives and the surprising conclusion that there is not “one right answer.”

That’s why Ivey is committed to Case-Method Learning It’s not just teaching, it’s a powerful making approach that becomes ingrained into how you operate The transformation happens

decision-throughout your year at Ivey, as you dive into hundreds of cases You’ll build amazing problem- solving skills and develop the ability to recognize and seize business opportunities, making you a rare double threat

And as you’ll see next, when it comes to case learning, it only gets better with the right people in class

Take a look to your left Take a look to your right All three of you are amazing.

Ivey attracts an exceptionally strong field of candidates with a staggeringly diverse range of

educational, professional and cultural backgrounds We have a finely tuned admission process, and we are confident that you’ll be as impressed with your classmates as we are

More than in most MBA programs, the quality of your classmates truly matters at Ivey Case-Method Learning is exponentially more effective when you and your faculty member can draw on the diverse experiences and perspectives of the class

Fit is everything at Ivey Our admission interviews give us the opportunity to ensure that you are the kind of MBA student who will contribute to the learning of others and wants to learn from others These are peers who will challenge, motivate and support you and expect the same in return

We hold our faculty to the same high standards The Ivey faculty has a strong connection to the school and fully embraces our unique teaching method Experts in their fields, Ivey faculty

members write cases, consult and research with organizations around the world and then draw

on this experience in the classroom They are deeply committed to your academic success and your leadership development

With a better approach to learning and amazing classmates and faculty, there’s really no limit

to what you can learn

Until you can apply your learning, you haven’t learned a thing.

Anybody can learn a theory All schools teach core business knowledge, but that’s where the similarity ends At Ivey, we believe knowledge is necessary but not sufficient for career success Pushing you to learn how and when to apply ideas is the difference that will take you from

manager to leader

Strong leaders are confident leaders This confidence only comes with practice, practice and more practice The Ivey classroom is where you will test your ability to apply what you’ve learned and have your perspective challenged by your learning team, classmates and faculty Through hundreds

of cases and simulations, you’re exposed to several years of real-life business knowledge in just one transformational year

Ivey’s Cross-Enterprise LeadershipTM approach prepares you with the breadth and capacity to always see the bigger picture and to lead initiatives that enhance the whole organization

The Ivey MBA is a truly transformative and inspiring learning experience It’s a bond that will connect you to an impressive alumni network

What You Learn

At Ivey, you learn by doing Each day, as you apply your learning,

you accelerate your leadership capabilities We call these capabilities

Ivey Leadership Essentials They are at the core of everything we do

at Ivey and what truly differentiates our Ivey MBAs.

“Leadership is

about influence, while

management is a set

of responsibilities.”

Karen Yang , MBA 2010

Embrace Complexity: Leadership in the real

world is full of complexity Problems don’t arrive

in tidy boxes labelled “marketing” or “finance.”

Our cases are written with real information –

sometimes too much, sometimes too little – so

you can learn how to uncover the critical details

to make a sound decision

Be Decisive: We emphasize action in all case

discussions and always ask, “What would you

do?” At Ivey, you’ll learn that uncertainty

always exists and leaders are required to step

up to the challenge and make tough decisions

Communicate Persuasively:Contribution

is a required component in all courses You’ll

learn how to present your ideas persuasively

and defend them with confidence as they

are challenged by your peers and faculty

Communicating in a way that’s convincing, yet

diplomatic, is a core skill you develop at Ivey

Maximize Team Potential: Leadership is about identifying people’s strengths, allocating tasks accordingly and keeping your team motivated to maximize performance The ability

to coach and inspire others is a critical skill and a strong focus at Ivey Case preparation, reports and simulations are all structured around teamwork

Manage Volume: Business demands that you have the ability to manage multiple tasks, prioritize conflicting demands and perform under intense workloads In our rigorous one-year program, you’ll face competing deadlines and learn to make the strategic trade-offs required to thrive

in any fast-paced environment
