Stories from the road to the future. Annual Report 2014/15
Letter from the Director As my term as Director of Rotman Commerce draws to a close, I have been reflecting on the many changes that have taken place in the program over the past six years. I am extremely proud of the work the students, alumni, staff, and faculty of Rotman Commerce have accomplished, and am confident that the developments and innovations we have implemented—to our curriculum, our student programming, and our organizational structure—will provide a strong foundation for the program’s continued growth.
Together we have broadened the opportunities open to our students both in and out of the classroom. We have launched specialized career programming, leadership training, and hands-on technical skills development initiatives to better prepare our students for Professor Kenneth S. Corts Director, Rotman Commerce, 2009-2015
a competitive and challenging job market. We have forged new partnerships with universities, corporations, professional associations, and not-for-profits that allow us to offer Rotman Commerce students a diverse and fulsome environment in which to study. And we have engaged with our alumni, hundreds of whom have come back to campus over the years to lend their knowledge and experience to a new generation of commerce graduates.
There is still much to be done, as the world of business (and our place in it) continues to evolve, but I know that my successor, Professor David Goldreich of the Rotman School of Management, is far and away the best person to chart our course from this point on.
In closing, I want to acknowledge the passing of Joe Rotman in January of this year. A supporter of our program and a friend to higher education and culture across the country, Joe was the most gracious of benefactors. He is greatly missed. ❚
Telling Our Stories In past years, our annual report has been a collection of facts and figures recounting the developments, successes, and challenges of the previous year. In this year’s annual report, we do a little bit more. Every person’s journey through our program is uniquely their own but what we share is an intangible connection to what it means to be a student in this remarkable program, on this magical campus, as a part of this historic institution. In the pages that follow, a few of our graduates, current students, and faculty share stories of their time here and show how even the most ordinary of occurrences can anchor our most enduring memories. We hope you enjoy them, and invite you to share your own with us.

A good deal of what I learned at U of T came courtesy of backgammon— specifically, a year-long tournament with Malcolm Gladwell. Peers are one of the most important aspects of undergraduate life, and surrounding yourself with the very best people you can find on campus can make a lasting impact on both your business and life skills. After all, friends push you to be better at whatever it is they are good at and help you expand your own potential. Trinity College gave me a terrific environment in which I could do just that. This included acting in an Atom Egoyan short film, political debates with Nigel Wright, and a year-long backgammon tournament (called the “Juggernaut”) with Malcolm Gladwell. Though I surged

I made this mug for me and my students to commemorate the completion of one of my favourite teaching experiences. Rotman Commerce students provided a great community in which to develop my new course, Catastrophic Failure in Organizations. Even before the course was offered to my MBA students, fiftysome Commerce students had a chance to enrol in it, and they made invaluable and lasting contributions to the course. Learning from business failures and other organizational meltdowns—from airplane crashes to financial crashes to corporate fraud—requires a great deal of maturity and insight into organizational behaviour, András Tilcsik

In 2011, my family and I moved from Istanbul to Toronto. Although we lived a good life in Turkey, my parents wanted my brother and me to have a more stable environment in which to build our futures. As a member of the Varsity Blues Women’s Volleyball Team, I have been fortunate to be able to play the sport I love at a competitive level. However, without a Canadian passport, I would never be eligible to compete for Canada’s national team. On May 2015, all of that changed when I took the oath and received my citizenship certificate. I had been waiting for four long years to become Canadian, and when I did, it was an unforgettable experience. I had always felt like Canada was my home, but the ceremony Asli Ersozoglu, BCom ’17 Specialist in Management,

I like biking. When I was at U of T, I always used a bike to commute to school, much to the horror of some of my friends who believe that if you bike in Toronto, you’re putting your life in the hands of impatient motorists. For me, though, biking is a reliable and convenient way to commute downtown, especially if the possibility of brushing shoulders with taxis once in a while doesn’t terrify you. The way I see it, biking in the city is an exercise in managed risk. While it’s totally understandable that people want to settle for security, embracing some risks and trying new paths can open up new opportunities, experiences, and ideas.
I’ve only had one accident in the last four years. I was running late for my RSM392 Strategic Management midterm and was practically

This pack has been everywhere with me. Four years of being dragged around Robarts, Sid Smith, and the WDW and WO classrooms. Four of the best years of my life. Out of the many delightful experiences I have had at U of T, the happiest I have ever felt in my university career was when I walked across the stage on my convocation day. It’s bittersweet that that moment also marked my departure from U of T. But all the hard work, the late nights, the endless coffee—it’s all worth it for that one moment when you know that you have done it. You have graduated from the best university in Canada. That’s when your four years at U of T flash before your eyes, reminding you of the person you were when you entered this place, compared to the person you are now— ready to change the world.

I wasn’t always an A student in school but that may have been because I didn’t really go to classes during the day. Even the draw of Harold Innis, the famed economist who taught in the program back then, wasn’t enough to get me to campus.
Instead, I spent my days playing bridge. Fortunately, I had a friend who would go to the lectures and take notes in shorthand, so I would do all the readings at night for my classes, and get the lecture notes from my friend, and that’s how I got by. We used to play for pretty big stakes as well, but I never got involved in gambling. Instead, I learned how to play the risks. Ironically, it was my class material that helped me the most. At that time, Frank Knight’s Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit was our second-year Commerce & Finance economics Al Pearlstein, BCom ’50
