Cases in Leadership (The Ivey Casebook Series)

Richard Ivey School of Business and SAGE have come together again to provide a distinctive collection of real-world leadership cases

Cases in Leadership, Second Edition is a unique collection of 29 real-world leadership cases from Ivey Publishing plus 15 practitioner readings from the Ivey Business Journal. The updated casebook helps business students gain a better understanding of leadership and enables them to be more effective leaders through their careers. The selected cases are about complex leadership issues that require the attention of the decision maker in each case.

This casebook provides an invaluable supplement to any standard leadership text by connecting theory to actual cases. However, it has been organized to work especially well in conjunction with the Fifth Edition of Peter Northouse’s Leadership: Theory and Practice.

Key Features

• Presents real-world cases related to leadership: Cases illustrate the complex nature of leadership in organizations from around the world
• Generates classroom discussion: Cases let students grapple with actual decisions that real-world managers have faced
• Offers much more than a packet of cases: The author provides summaries of concepts, helpful discussion questions, and readings for each chapter
• NEW! A chapter on Authentic Leadership, an emerging theory: This mirrors the new Chapter 10 in Peter Northouse’s text
