WHY CHOOSE AIM?

Lead. Inspire. Transform.

Our role is to empower entrepreneurs, business, and development leaders to initiate sustainable social, political, technological, and economic development. To achieve this, the Institute is categorically Asian, with a strong concentration on Southeast Asia and the ASEAN economic community. Our programs are designed for Asian needs, our approach attuned to Asian management and responsive to peculiar Asian issues, while enhanced by a global perspective.

Business and development management at the Institute are exemplified by the following:

Skills and Knowledge to Unlock Asia

Our curricula, courses, and teaching materials have been developed for the conditions and needs of both private and public Asian enterprises and are offered not only in the Philippines but in other Asian countries as well.

A Practitioner-Oriented approach

Our academically and professionally qualified faculty have a broad regional outlook and wide experience in and knowledge of Asian management and practice. Our approach is practitioner-oriented, and our relationships with organizations all over the region are fundamental to the development and enhancement of our programs and activities.

Thought Leadership

Our research centers form a nexus where the private sector, government, and civil society connect, converge, and synergize. We draw support from the region in terms of financial contributions and participation by the management and business community in AIM’s teaching and research activities.

Practical Learning with the Case Study Method

Our programs are designed for practical application in the real world. To advance this objective, we use the case method as a primary mode of teaching and learning. Under this method, which was adapted from the Harvard Business School’s own system, students analyze actual business scenarios to hone their analytical, decision-making, and communication skills. The method also encourages lively discussions between classmates, resulting in a robust and dynamic learning environment.

Learning Teams

To promote collaborative learning and leadership, as well as foster the school’s multicultural ethos amongst students, we assign each one to a ‘learning team’ or “can group.” These teams give students a diverse learning environment, and provide each one the opportunity to experience and benefit from multi-faceted perspectives.

INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS
