Undergraduate students at the Richard Ivey School of Business are weighing in on current business issues via the Ivey Business Review, Canada’s first undergraduate business journal.
For executives who are wondering what today’s generation thinks about the business world, this magazine provides some answers.
Written and managed by Ivey students, the magazine is dedicated to evaluating contemporary business strategies and aims to “push the boundaries of student thought; stimulate conversation and education within the Ivey community and foster the development of world-class business insights.”
The Ivey Business Review’s first issue, “Changing the Way You Do Business,” discusses topics such as the globalization of telecommunications, the ethics of “death bonds” and how Google’s quest for growth is hurting consumers.
Articles include:
Apple: The Forbidden Fruit High Fashion in a Recession Google & The Destruction of Innovation Regulating Hedge Funds The Global Wireless Revolution RIP: Rest in Peace, or Reap in Profit? The Lighthouse in a Sea of Indices
“The journal is designed to give the business leaders of tomorrow the opportunity to voice their thoughts on current business strategies,” says Matthew Ball, an Ivey HBA student and the publication’s Editor-in-Chief.
Ball says all content is specifically designed for the magazine.
“Each article comes from several weeks of collaboration between the author, members of the editorial board and faculty members.”
Calvin White, an Ivey student and magazine editorial board member, adds the project is a team effort.
“While every contributor is responsible for putting in the time and effort to create a top-notch article, the real value of the experience comes from our focus on collaboration.”
Ariff Kachra, Assistant Professor of Strategy and the Ivey Business Review’s faculty editor, says the process of collaboration embodies the spirit of an Ivey education.
“That is, without a doubt, what makes the articles so strong. This Canadian first gives the international business community a glimpse of the calibre of tomorrow’s leaders,” he notes.
The Ivey Business Review will be releasing a second issue in April and can be found online at www.ivey.ca/ibr.
