About Ivey Business Review
Ivey Business Review is designed and managed exclusively by students at the Ivey Business School and its content is produced solely by current students and alumni of the program. It is the only business publication of its kind and, unlike other student magazines or journals, none of IBR’s content originates from a student’s coursework or thesis. Instead, each article has been created specifically for the magazine and comes from several months of intense collaboration between the writer and members of the Editorial Board.
IBR was imagined and created in 2009, by a small group of HBA students with support from faculty, alumni, and the administration. It has since grown to distribute insightful and actionable long-form content to readers across the world in print and online. The print edition is published twice per academic year, in Spring and Fall.
Articles are written on a wide variety of topics, and can focus upon a specific company, industry, business model, strategy or event. We strive to address timely issues and provide meaningful recommendations to the business community.

Writing for Us
Submissions are accepted before set dates each Fall and Winter semester. Any student currently enrolled in the Ivey HBA and MBA Program is welcome to apply. Upon selection, articles will be developed for 10-12 weeks prior to being published. Authors will have access to input from the Editorial Board, IBR’s Alumni Content Advisory Board, and Accenture Management Consulting subject matter advisors. That said, authors are the core directors of article development, and are responsible for its production.
