Press Control+M to start dragging object

Business 1220E, a first-year introductory survey course, gives students from all faculties the opportunity to learn business fundamentals in finance, marketing, operations, organizational behavior and general management. This essay course will be particularly appealing to those students who want a class experience akin to courses taught in Ivey’s HBA program. Delivered through Ivey’s renowned case method, the course challenges students to learn by doing, within an active class environment of no more than 75 to 80 students. Many students believe this course provides an excellent foundation for Business 2257. Students explore real business issues, make management decisions, defend their position, and take action.

Students are expected to learn about the problems managers face and gain an understanding of the environment in which managers make decisions. Above all, students will develop the capacity to make sound and timely decisions based on available, and often imperfect, information.

Affirmation Policy

Western, like many postsecondary institutions in Canada, is moving beyond sole reliance upon Indigenous self-identification in its hiring processes. This is to safeguard against the use of incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information in circumstances in which a candidate has made a declaration of Indigenous citizenship or membership. Candidates who are invited for an interview or who are short-listed, and who have made a declaration of Indigenous citizenship or membership for material advantage at Western, including where required or preferred for the position, will be asked to have their declaration of Indigenous citizenship or membership affirmed through a relational accountability process, led by the Office of Indigenous Initiatives (OII), that is consistent with Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing. Please contact the OII directly for details on the affirmation processes: https://indigenous.uwo.ca/ . The policy can be viewed at: POLICY 1.58 - Aff...
