This fifth annual Rotman Investors’ Report is a special tribute

to not only our donors, but also the countless volunteers who

give their time in support of the School and its vision. We

are incredibly grateful to enjoy unwavering support from

alumni, friends and organizations who believe in the School

and its ambition to rank among the world’s best. Your

backing is critical as we continue our quest to revolutionize

business education by developing an innovative curriculum

built around Integrative ThinkingTM and Business Design TM.

In the past year, the Rotman School has continued its

fierce competition among the world’s best business schools.

We have been very active in recruiting and retaining the

most talented students and faculty. While finding the financial

resources to support these individuals is a significant and

challenging task, we have been successful in attracting

some of the best human capital from around the world. With

leading faculty providing a unique educational experience

and producing ground-breaking research, the Rotman School

is at the head of the class in global thought leadership.

We wouldn’t be where we are today without you. Your

generosity in time and financial support has an immediate

impact: it enables our faculty to conduct pioneering research;

ensures that we offer the most modern and well-equipped

facilities; attracts leading young academics from top-tier

schools; and provides financial backing for many

11

A M E S S A G E F R O M T H E D E A N

exceptional students who would otherwise be unable to

gain the long-term benefits of our innovative programs.

Volunteers provide further support in curriculum development,

helping the School build valuable relationships and running

critical programs for students and alumni.

Your support of the Rotman School’s vision is a wise

investment in our collective future. While the School’s recent

momentum has been strong and our accomplishments

many, work remains to be done in reaching our highest

aspirations. I thank you for your support and encourage

you to remain close to us as we continue on our journey of

innovation and excellence. Rotman’s future is bright, and

I look forward to sharing every success with you.

The Rotman School has become globally renowned for its

unique approach to business education, built around

Integrative Thinking™. Rotman is developing a new way

to think about business for the 21st century, enabling the

development of creative business solutions for a world

filled with uncertainty, instability and risk. Rather than

accepting the world as it is presented to them, Rotman

students are learning how to create new, more powerful

models and solutions to shape the world around them

for the better.

S U C C E S S B R E E D S S U C C E S S

The reception to the Rotman vision for redesigning

business education has been greater than anyone could

have imagined. As a result,

• Rotman is currently ranked 27th in the Financial Times

ranking of the world’s top 100 MBA Programs, top 16

in North America and top 7 worldwide for Finance.

BusinessWeek ranks Rotman in its ‘International Top Ten’.

• Our faculty’s research is ranked 23rd in the world,

up from 65th place just four years ago, indicating that

their contributions are making a major impact on

global business thinking.

• Renowned business leaders such as JJaacckk WWeellcchh,

MMiicchhaaeell DDeellll, MMeegg WWhhiittmmaann, IIssaaddoorree SShhaarrpp, Canada’s

last five CEOs of the Year, and a roster of Nobel

Laureates have visited the School to share their wisdom

and experience.

• Since 1998, the annual intake of full-time MBA students

has more than doubled, to 267. The School also now

draws students from a wider talent pool: nearly 40

per cent of the Two-Year Full-Time MBA class of 2008

consists of international students from 33 countries,

speaking 39 languages. A larger student population

helps attract and support the best students, faculty and

recruiters, and ensures solid tuition revenue.

I N V E S T O R S H E L P PAV E T H E R O A D A H E A D

If they are to become tomorrow’s leaders and innovators,

Rotman students require access to world-class services and

equipment. With your support, we are able to provide

them with leading-edge classroom technology, a state-of-

the-art Business Information Centre (library), a Financial

Research and Trading Lab, the world-class computing

resources of the Rotman Portal, and the Rotman Interactive

Trader, a breakthrough tool in trading education.

In addition to new cutting-edge facilities, future priorities

for the School include investments in academic chairs and

individual faculty and enhancements to our evolving

curriculum. This year, we announced our ambitious plans to

construct a new building that will host the newly-established

PPrroossppeerriittyy IInnssttiittuuttee. The Institute was made possible by a

$50-million donation to the Rotman School by the Province

of Ontario (see details, page 3) and a $10-million gift

from Joseph and Sandra Rotman.

The new building will be constructed just south of the

Rotman School on St. George Street. In addition to

providing space for the new Prosperity Institute and a

50 per cent expansion of the School’s graduate programs,

the new building will house the DDeessaauutteellss CCeennttrree ffoorr

IInntteeggrraattiivvee TThhiinnkkiinngg.

S H A R I N G I N S U C C E S S

In the case of a great business school, success is something

that is shared across a virtuous circle: successful schools

attract great students; great graduates succeed in the business

world and demonstrate their school’s effectiveness; and all

those who invest their time and money in the school —

as advisors, investors, volunteers and recruiters — help to

generate even more success. The return on these investments,

both for the Rotman School and its supporters, lies in the

School’s increasing reach, reputation and influence around

the world. We encourage your continued support and

invite you to share in our successes to come.

When the PPrroovviinncciiaall GGoovveerrnnmmeenntt announced its 2007

budget, it also made a landmark funding announcement

for the Rotman School. The funding, which will total $50

million, will enable the School to construct a new building

that will host its newly-established PPrroossppeerriittyy IInnssttiittuuttee and

provide space for a 50 per cent expansion of the School’s

graduate programs, including its renowned MBA and

PhD programs. An additional $10 million in government

funding has also been allocated to the project, while a

further $60 million will be raised from private donations

to match the total government funding.

The campaign to raise the private funding is currently

more than half way to its goal and is being led by

GGeeooffff BBeeaattttiiee, President of WWooooddbbrriiddggee CCoommppaannyy, who

is serving as chair. The campaign’s honorary co-chairs are

DDrr.. JJoosseepphh RRoottmmaann, Chairman and CEO of RRooyy--LL CCaappiittaall

CCoorrppoorraattiioonn, and DDrr.. MMaarrcceell DDeessaauutteellss, President and

CEO of the CCaannaaddiiaann CCrreeddiitt MMaannaaggeemmeenntt FFoouunnddaattiioonn.

“The Prosperity Institute will enhance the province’s

prosperity by taking an integrative approach to the study

and creation of jurisdictional advantage,” says Rotman

Dean RRooggeerr MMaarrttiinn. “Currently, the study of how jurisdictions,

including provinces, become magnets for companies to

start-up, locate and grow, and for talent to study, live

and work, has been fragmented across many diverse

fields. This disconnected knowledge has been less helpful

to policy-makers and businesses than is required.”

“The Prosperity Institute will remedy this by bringing

together the best group of scholars in the world to study

jurisdictional advantage in order to create new and

valuable insights that will benefit Ontario and the world

at large,” adds the Dean.

Over the past decade, the Rotman School has assembled

the largest academic research group in Canada dedicated

to the study of jurisdictional advantage and prosperity

but has lacked the physical and funding infrastructure

necessary to advance the research. In summer 2007, the

Prosperity Institute announced that renowned urban thinker

RRiicchhaarrdd FFlloorriiddaa will serve as its academic director.

LLaarrrryy WWaasssseerr is a prominent philanthropist with an outstanding

track record of entrepreneurial success. He is also a generous

supporter of the Rotman School, serving as Entrepreneur-in-

Residence, a member of the RRoottmmaann AAddvvaanncceemmeenntt BBooaarrdd

and Chair of the EEnnttrreepprreenneeuurrsshhiipp AAddvviissoorryy BBooaarrdd ((EEAABB)).

In 2000, recognizing the critical need for student financial

aid, Wasser established the LLaarrrryy WWaasssseerr OOnnttaarriioo

GGrraadduuaattee SScchhoollaarrsshhiipp at the Rotman School. Since then,

12 deserving students, who otherwise would not have been

able to afford a business education, have completed their

MBA degrees and are well into successful careers.

With Wasser’s outstanding reputation as a volunteer,

donor and community leader, he has become a role model

for the next generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders.

KKaarreenn PPaappaazziiaann, Senior Development Associate, spoke

with Wasser about some of his motivations for volunteering

and his advice for others thinking of making a contribution.

KKPP:: How long have you been involved at the Rotman

School, and what motivated you to become involved?

LLWW:: My involvement began nearly a decade ago. I was

intrigued by the fact that RRooggeerr MMaarrttiinn, such an incredibly

successful businessman, was recruited to helm the School,

and I was fascinated to see the School undergo such a

rapid and profound metamorphosis under his guidance. It

became clear that, in order to sustain such growth, the

School required the support of the community. That’s when

I helped establish the Larry Wasser Ontario Graduate

Scholarship. Around the same time, I was invited to be a

member of the Rotman Advancement Board. My role at

the School and my interest in the School’s growth and

direction gradually intensified and in time, led to several

other rewarding volunteer opportunities.

KKPP:: Tell me about your involvement as the Entrepreneur-in-

Residence and Chair of the Entrepreneurship Advisory Board.

LLWW:: When I started as the inaugural Entrepreneur-in-

Residence — a position I have held for the past three years

— a specific job description didn’t exist, giving me free

reign to transform the position into whatever shape would

add the most value to the student experience and to the

School. Over time, the role has evolved to include a variety

of functions, including my Tuesday afternoon guidance

counselling sessions. I work closely with the students in

reviewing their business plans and proposals, as well as

providing general counselling and career advice. When an

idea introduced at a Tuesday meeting requires capital

and/or connectivity to the business world, whether through

partnerships or job opportunities, I can draw upon my contacts

in the business community to help push the project forward.

Many of the contacts I’ve made in the business community

have also ended up visiting the School as classroom guest

lecturers and judges of business plan competitions. I don’t

set out to recruit my colleagues, friends and contacts

for these roles, they are drawn to Rotman’s reputation as

a world-class business school. Once these individuals are

introduced to the School and our talented students and

faculty, they are often keen to become more involved,

whether as volunteers or donors.

In addition to my role as Entrepreneur-in-Residence, I

am Chair of the Entrepreneurship Advisory Board. EAB is

a volunteer board which provides advice on the direction

and development of course curriculum in the area of

Entrepreneurship. In this capacity, I am also working with

Professor OOllaavv SSoorreennssoonn on the School’s Technology-

Management Interface, in which student teams engage with a

client for six months to help solve a real-life business challenge.

KKPP:: In your opinion, why have students been so receptive

to the Entrepreneur-in-Residence position?

LLWW:: I bring my practical experience directly to the students

which complements what they are learning in the classroom. I’m

not afraid to tell them whether or not they have a real chance

with a business plan. I think the students value my candour,

and appreciate knowing what kind of answer they’re likely

to hear when talking to others like me in the business world.

KKPP:: What have you found most rewarding about working

with students, and what have you learned about yourself or

others during this experience?

LLWW:: I truly believe that however much the students are getting

out of this experience, in terms of advice and guidance, I

am benefiting a great deal more. It is incredibly rewarding

and uplifting to meet and work with such young, energetic

students, and it energizes me to know that I am making a

difference in the lives of tomorrow’s business leaders.

In February 2007, Canada’s only independent institute

for capital markets research received a $750,000 boost

in funding from its founding sponsor, the TToorroonnttoo SSttoocckk

EExxcchhaannggee (TSX).

The gift established the TTSSXX CCaappiittaall MMaarrkkeettss IInniittiiaattiivvee

aatt RRoottmmaann and will provide the CCaappiittaall MMaarrkkeettss IInnssttiittuuttee

(CMI) at the Rotman School of Management with funds to

support research and policy initiatives in areas such as

cross-border investing, shareholder activism, hedge fund

dominance and executive compensation.

“We investigate issues that impact the competitiveness of

Canadian capital markets,” says Professor PPaauull HHaallppeerrnn,

CMI Director and Toronto Stock Exchange Chair in Capital

Markets at the Rotman School. “This funding will work to

identify effective capital market strategies for Canada and

provide policy guidance to government and regulators. We

are delighted to have the TSX as our strongest supporter.”

As part of the Rotman Initiative, Halpern will also lead in

the creation and ongoing support of a TTSSXX NNaattiioonnaall

AAddvviissoorryy CCoouunncciill. The Council will meet at least once each

year to identify public policy issues concerning regional

and national capital markets.

“This is a first-of-its-kind network for policy research in

Canada,” says RRiicchhaarrdd NNeessbbiitttt, CEO of TSX Group.

“It will encourage a cross-fertilization of research ideas

among academic institutions across the country and, at the

same time, allow the informal sharing of ideas among

academic researchers from Canada’s top universities and

the people most involved in the minute-by-minute changes

taking place in Canadian capital markets. It’s a very

exciting initiative.”

The UUnniivveerrssiittyy ooff BBrriittiisshh CCoolluummbbiiaa LLaaww SScchhooooll was

the first to join the advisory council. “We can already

see how the council will add a cross-country perspective

to the research that various institutions undertake with our

support,” Nesbitt says.

To date, TSX funding has helped the Capital Markets

Institute advance thinking in areas such as income trusts,

credit rating systems and enforcement in Canada.

77

KKPP:: What advice would you give to someone who is

interested in using their skills and knowledge to help others

outside of the workplace?

LLWW:: I would tell them to get involved in something that is a

part of their history, just as the University of Toronto was

part of mine, and to look for ways of adding value to the

lives and careers of others. I guarantee that in the end, it

will be a positive experience for all involved.

Larry Wasser (BAH ’78, U of T) is President of LW Capital

Corporation, a private investment firm which offers strategic,

advisory and consulting services. Previously, he was Chairman

and CEO of Beamscope Canada Inc., one of Canada’s largest

sales, marketing and distribution companies of consumer

electronics products and computer products. In 1994, Wasser

was founder and joint venture partner of Electronics Boutique

(Canada) Inc., a mall-based retailer of video game related

products. A year later, he founded Ironside Technologies Inc.,

a company that specialized in creating business-to-business

Internet electronic commerce software solutions.

In addition to his outstanding commitment to the Rotman

School of Management at the University Toronto, Wasser

serves as Alumni Governor for the University of Toronto’s

Governing Council, and as Honorary Campaign Chair at

Innis College. Wasser has also been involved with a number

The Joseph L. Rotman School of Management has set out

to become one of the world’s top-tier business schools.

Thanks in part to the generosity of RRoottmmaann VViissiioonn FFuunndd

donors, the School is well on its way to achieving that

goal. The annual Rotman Vision Fund supports the School’s

top strategic priorities and shapes the MBA experience for

future business leaders. Resources provided by the Vision

Fund support the School’s areas of greatest need, including

faculty recruitment and research, curriculum development,

and enhancement of student and alumni services and events.

In 2006 – 2007, the Vision Fund matched the impressive

fundraising achievements of the previous year, generating

nearly $350,000 in donations from alumni, friends, faculty,

This year’s annual GGrraadduuaattee SSttuuddeenntt GGiivviinngg CCaammppaaiiggnn

enjoyed a period of unprecedented growth as it expanded

beyond its origins in the Two-Year MBA program. For the

first time, students from the Three-Year MBA, EMBA and

OMNIUM programs also contributed to the Vision Fund

through the student giving campaign. This unprecedented

growth in student giving has helped the School make great

strides toward enhancing interaction between students and

alumni. In the past three years, the Alumni and Community

Relations office has increased the number of alumni

volunteer contacts for students by more than 500 per cent,

bringing the total to just under 2,000 participants. In the

upcoming year, the office plans to further increase the

number of contacts, and enhance the functionality of the

alumni contact database on the Student Portal to provide

easier access to career mentors. The GGrraadduuaattee BBuussiinneessss

CCoouunncciill and other student clubs will be given more

formalized assistance to help guarantee higher alumni

attendance at student events. The office also plans to

increase the number of events it hosts to provide students

and alumni with greater opportunities to network and

share their knowledge and experiences.

The Rotman School’s roster of internationally-renowned

programs continue to grow and evolve to suit the needs of

the surrounding business community. Gifts to the Rotman

Vision Fund helped the School launch its new MMaasstteerr ooff

Finance offers a mix of theoretical and applied courses,

with content that goes beyond that offered by an under-

graduate commerce degree, a CFA or other professional

programs. Also introduced in Fall 2007 was the world’s

first TThhrreeee--YYeeaarr MMoorrnniinngg MMBBAA program, for professionals

looking to pursue their business studies outside of regular

office hours. In 2006, Rotman debuted the BBuussiinneessss

The generosity of Rotman alumni has always been the

foundation of the Vision Fund’s success, and the proud

tradition of alumni giving continued in 2006 – 2007.

To mark Spring Reunion 2007, alumni from the honoured

years were presented with a fundraising challenge that

asked them to contribute a total of $40,000 to the Vision

Fund. Before the challenge was presented, donations

raised over the course of the fiscal year totaled just over

$21,000. By challenge’s end, that total had climbed to an

impressive $51,500. The Rotman School would like to thank

everyone who participated in this successful fundraising

initiative, with a special thanks to JJaayy NNiicchhoollssoonn (MBA ’02)

who headed up the challenge, lending his name, time

and support to the appeal.

FA C U LT Y / S TA F F C A M PA I G N

One key growth area in the Vision Fund is the FFaaccuullttyy//

SSttaaffff CCaammppaaiiggnn, which provides those who work at the

School with a unique opportunity to show their support

for the School and its strategic goals. The past year saw

three new fundraising records set by the campaign. A

record total of $89,000 was raised; overall participation

hit 51 per cent; and despite the faculty’s valiant effort,

Rotman staff won the Participation Challenge for the fourth

year in a row, achieving a remarkable level of 60 per cent

participation.

This year’s Faculty/Staff Campaign was made possible

through the efforts of our five volunteer co-chairs. Serving

as the Senior Management Chair was RRiicchhaarrdd PPoowweerrss,

assistant dean and executive director of MBA programs.

Faculty Co-Chairs were DDiilliipp SSoommaann, Corus Chair in

Communication Strategy and professor of marketing and

Senior Fellow of the Desautels Centre for Integrative

Thinking, and AAllaann WWhhiittee, Peter L. Mitchelson/SIT

Investment Associates Foundation Chair in Investment

Strategy and professor of finance. Serving as Staff Co-Chairs

were JJeennnniiffeerr HHiillddeebbrraannddtt, manager of events and

communications, and LLyynnddaa PPaatteerrssoonn, recruiting coordinator

at the MBA Corporate Connections Centre.

Rotman development staff would like to sincerely thank

everyone who chose to get involved and reinvest in the

School by contributing to the Vision Fund this past year.

We greatly appreciate your loyalty and generous support.
