The annual John Molson Business Ownership Case Writing Competition selects three winners and honourable mentions for outstanding cases that are focused on the perspective of the business owner. The cases must be based on field research or secondary sources and describe a recent, real challenge in a real organization.

Topics can include acquiring or divesting an existing business, intergenerational ownership or transition, valuation, liquidity, governance, strategy making and more.

The John Molson Case Publications initiative was founded to support the development of new teaching case studies as part of the School's commitment to the case method. See the growing library of cases at Ivey Publishing.
