Although AIM traditionally relied heavily on its full-time MBA program for student numbers, it has pivoted to move beyond business as usual, focusing on the interplay between technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship to address current demand and emerging trends.
AIM is able to keep its finger on the pulse of the market, given that its President and Dean, Dr. Jikyeong Kang, was invited to serve on the Boards of both the US-based Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), and the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD), which are the world’s two largest and most prestigious business school accreditation bodies. Along with the world’s top business school deans, Dr. Kang routinely reviews market movements not only to understand its latest developments and respond, but also to be a trailblazer in setting new directions for AIM. As one of very few schools in Asia that truly understands Asian businesses and societies, AIM is also a founding member of the Association of Asia-Pacific Business Schools (AAPBS), and Dr. Kang sits on its Council.
