VERDICT

Should I use Ivey Publishing - Ivey Business School?

Not disclosed - iveypublishing.ca

Depends. A respected academic case-study library for business school instructors, not a software tool. Educators assigning case-method courses should consider it; anyone shopping for software should look elsewhere.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 40+ public sources; mostly course syllabi and homework sites, no independent product reviews or pricing pages.
