Beijing (Dec. 14) - Ivey First class On The Road & Info Session

Ivey First Class On The Road & Info Session
A unique opportunity to "test-drive" your MBA
Ivey, a leading business school in the world renowned for over 80 years of Case Teaching

Do you want to experience a real case class? Come and join us in Beijing for a lively class discussion with Professor Jim Hatch from Ivey, a world-leading business school.

Ivey is famous for its case methodology and we offer the Chinese prospective MBA applicants a unique opportunity to experience an Ivey case class.

To participate in this mock class, you need to read a real case in advance; you also need to analyze the case and share your findings in the class with the professor and with other attendees.

To take full advantage of this opportunity, you should be fluent in English, and able to express your opinions in public in a structured way. You should also have 3 years or more solid work experience – business acumen has been proven to be critical in case discussions.

Your commitment is also important – we will request you to spend 2-3 hours before the mock class to read the case, conduct the necessary analysis and make the management decision, so that you could effectively participate in the class discussion. (The professor might cold call on those who are not active in class contribution! At Ivey, learning isn’t a spectator sport. )

Due to limited seats, we have to make it a by-invitation session. To secure your spot, please register immediately.

We look forward to meeting you and experiencing a rewarding class on Dec 14. You will also get to meet Ivey alumni and network with them.
