He informed that nine leading business schools in India have already participated in the Centre as ‘Member Business Schools’ and will directly benefit from knowledge sharing. Violeta Gallagher, Director (Product & Publishing), Ivey Publishing, said that the launch of the CRC will open new avenues for collaboration, storytelling and impact in India and across the world. Gallagher said that Indian (research) cases constitute 16 per cent of Ivey Publishing’s collection, which is very high.
“Also, it’s an opportunity to see Indian content that’s relevant not only locally, but also globally,” he said.

Gallagher said Ivy Publishing publishes approximately 500 issues annually, and about 30 percent of its authors are from India. “This is an exciting number that continues to grow,” he said.
