Cracking the Case
In the first of two 2018-2019 competitions, 80 students spent 24 hours analyzing an Ivey School of Business case study, collaboratively solving it, and preparing formal presentations for panels of teachers, administrators, and local businesspeople.
This year's case study was about Whole Foods Market and a crossroads it faced in 2013. Students interpreted a lengthy case description filled with information about the company's leadership structure, expansion strategies, customers, competitors, and financial data to arrive at recommendations about the company's best approach for tackling the Canadian market.
Dressed in formal business attire, students showed focus, dedication, and intensity to thoroughly impress the judges. We commend them on their professionalism, excellent use of the GCS Case Attack method, and implementation of business theories from across our courses. We couldn't be prouder.
Thanks to everyone who made this event possible: administrators for their organization, teachers for their devotion, guest judges for their expertise, participants for their engagement, film students for their efforts, and parents/guardians for their support.

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and as settlers, we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
