AIM kicks off 50th anniversary in 2018 with launch of new logo
The Asian Institute of Management (AIM), a pioneer in management education, officially unveiled its Nexus logo ahead of its 50th anniversary in 2018.
The new symbol of the school’s identity represents the dynamism of the institution and the emerging region.
Specifically, the Nexus reflects the desire of AIM’s stakeholders — from students to administrators, faculty to alumni — to capture the dynamic changes happening within.
“Today, through this new identity, AIM is reinforcing our commitment to contribute to the meaningful growth of Asian enterprise and societies by developing professional, entrepreneurial and socially responsible leaders and managers,” remarked AIM President and Dean Jikyeong Kang.
“We are looking forward to shaping more future leaders and change-makers in the coming years,” he stressed.
As businesses change, so must AIM.
In response to the constantly evolving business environment and the needs that come with it, the school is launching new programs to help students become attuned to Asian management with a global perspective and responsive to peculiar Asian issues.
AIM recognizes the impact of Science, Technology, Engineering, Architecture, Agriculture, Medicine, and Mathematics (STEAM) and Information Communications Technology (ICT) on enterprise, and leads in innovation with new programs to address the demand for new skillsets in a knowledge and technology economy.
Already, it has just welcomed the first cohort of students in its latest program offering, the Master of Science in Innovation and Business (MIB) designed for young graduates and professionals in STEAM disciplines.
The school will likewise organize and launch the first Asian Forum on Enterprise for Society later this year.
As proof that it’s leading and championing change in the business education landscape, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) recently recognized AIM as one of the 2017 Innovations That Inspire recipients for its Leaders in Innovation Fellowship (LIF) Program.
In addition, Eduniversal, an annual ranking of the top 1,000 business schools and universities in 154 countries, awarded AIM four Palmes of Excellence.
Eduniversal likewise ranked AIM’s Washington SyCip Graduate School of Business as 8th Best Full-Time Master in Business Administration (MBA) in Far East Asia.
In addition, AIM received the top 11th ranking as Best Executive MBA program (part-time) in Far East Asia.
Founded in 1968 by the Harvard Business School and local academic institutions, AIM has helped its 43,000 alumni reach leadership positions in over 100 countries.
It was the first school in Southeast Asia to receive accreditation from the US-based Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) based on the world’s highest international standards.
