Ivey Business School is the main business school of the Western University, located in London, Ontario, Canada. It offers full-time undergraduate and graduate programs in London, Ontario and maintains a Toronto facility for its EMBA program and two facilities, Toronto and Hong Kong, for its Ivey Academy (executive education) programs.

History

[edit]

Business courses were first taught at Western in 1922 and the business school was officially created in 1950, when the School of Business Administration was established as a separate faculty at Western.[1] In 1995, the school was renamed the Richard Ivey School of Business after an $11 million donation by the Richard M. Ivey family. The school is named after Richard G. Ivey, the father of Richard M. Ivey.[citation needed]

In 1998, Ivey was the first North American business school to open a campus in Hong Kong offering business programs at the Cheng Yu Tung Management Institute.[2] In 2010, Ivey became the first North American business school to offer the CEMS Global Alliance in Management Education, joining the likes of London School of Economics, HEC Paris, ESADE, University of St. Gallen, and Bocconi University.[3]

In 2013, the School abbreviated its name to "Ivey Business School" and updated its visual identity.[4] The legal name of the Faculty of Business at Western University, however, remains Richard Ivey School of Business.[5]

Rankings

[edit]

Ivey Business School has consistently ranked among Canada's top business schools. The Economist ranked Ivey's MBA program best in Canada for Education Experience, Career Services, and Student Quality in 2021. In 2023, Ivey's MBA program was ranked first in Canada by Bloomberg Businessweek.[6] Financial Times ranked Ivey's Executive Education program number one in Canada.

Canadian MBA Alliance

[edit]

The school is also a founding member of the Canadian MBA Alliance which was created in 2013. All six members of the alliance rank among the world's top 100 schools, according to their participation in key rankings – Financial Times, Business Week, and The Economist.[7]

Locations

[edit]

Ivey operates on four campuses:

On September 10, 2009, Ivey broke ground on a new 235,000-square-foot (21,800 m2) faculty building on the Western campus in front of Brescia University College on former soccer fields. The project cost approximately $110 million, with the federal and provincial governments contributed $50 million in funding with the remainder funded by private donations.[8] The building was to be designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects of Toronto.[9] In September 2013, Ivey officially moved from their old building to new Richard Ivey Building located across campus.[10]

Publications

[edit]

Case studies

[edit]

With over 8,000 cases in their collection, Ivey Publishing adds more than 350 classroom-tested case studies each year.[11] Ivey is among the largest producers and publishers of cases all around the world, just behind Harvard Business School.[12] Recently, Ivey signed deals with Indian Institute of Management Calcutta to design and publish case studies.[13][14]

Ivey Business Journal

[edit]

Ivey Business Journal[15] (IBJ) started in 1933 as the Quarterly Review of Commerce. The publication transitioned from a quarterly magazine to a bi-monthly web publication in the 2000s and is read in over 150 countries. The current editor of the journal is Thomas Watson.[16]

Ivey Business Review

[edit]

Ivey Business Review (IBR) is an undergraduate publication dealing with business strategy, written and managed by students in the honours business administration program at the School. It is published twice per academic year, in December and April, and is managed at the school's main campus in London, Ontario. Published copies of IBR are available in print formator on the publication's website.[17] Since its inception, the magazine has published eight issues containing over 100 total articles and involving more than 150 students.[18]

The Review is an original research–based publication with all content created for the magazine through collaboration between the writers and members of the editorial board. It focuses on providing actionable recommendations for specific businesses, industries, business models, strategies, or events, rather than management techniques for managers and leaders.[19]
