The Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta (IIM-Calcutta) and Ivey Business School at Western University, Canada, have signed a five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop and publish India-relevant cases.
The MoU was signed by Eric A Morse, associate dean, programmes, Ivey Business School, and Ashok Banerjee, dean of new initiatives and external relations, IIM-Calcutta campus.
Under this partnership, the two institutions will collaborate in the areas of research, development and publishing of cases, as well as case writing and case pedagogy in Indian management institutes.
The MoU will also help the IIM-Calcutta Case Research Centre increase its global reach, leverage Ivey’s rich knowledge base and accumulated intellectual capital in business case study research and encourage joint research and co-authorship between faculty of the two institutes.
This will support IIM-Calcutta’s emphasis on case based teaching and writing to further enhance its reputation as a leader in management education.
Morse said, “Ivey is the largest producer of high quality Asian business cases and we are delighted to partner with IIM-C to build on this quality portfolio. IIM-Calcutta has a tremendous reputation for its ties with industry and for attracting some of India’s best talent. We believe our combined expertise and focus on quality will lead to exceptional results for both institutions and the stakeholders we collectively serve.”
“The MoU will help the IIM-Calcutta faculty to list their cases in Ivey, thereby enabling faculty and students from all over the world access to such cases from a leading emerging market,” said Banerjee.
