AIM is a member of the following associations:

Academics

Asian Institute of Management has four schools.

  • The Stephen Zuellig Graduate School of Development Management (Zuellig School) has an 11-month Master in Development Management program intended for executives and managers from developing nations. AIM used to offer a Rural Development Management Program in 1976, followed by a Program for Development Managers (PDM) in 1985. PDM then became the core course for the MDM program in 1989. The Center for Development Management at AIM was formally established as a school in 1991. It was renamed the Stephen Zuellig Graduate School of Development Management on March 13, 2014, in honor of Dr. Stephen Zuellig.

The School of Executive Education and Lifelong Learning (SEELL) is AIM's executive development arm. SEELL has two types of programs: Open Enrollment Programs and Custom Programs designed for the specific needs of the client organization. Open Enrollment Programs include programs for general management, strategy, operations, leadership and people management, innovation, and finance.

The Aboitiz School of Innovation, Technology, and Entrepreneurship (ASITE) was established in 2017 and offers five programs: the 15-month Master of Science in Innovation and Business, the 15-month Master of Science in Data Science, the 18-month Master in Entrepreneurship, a 4-year double undergraduate Data Science and Business Administration program with the University of Houston, and the first PhD in Data Science program in the Philippines. ASITE also houses an AI R&D laboratory called the Analytics, Computing, and Complex Systems (ACCeSs) lab.

Washington SyCip Memorial Fund

The Washington SyCip Memorial Fund was established after the passing of SyCip in 2017. A lead gift of US$5 million (or almost ₱260 million) was donated by an anonymous philanthropist.[14]

Rankings

The consulting organization and publisher of global academic rankings Center for World University Rankings (CWUR) ranks the Asian Institute of Management as first among all Philippine universities and 1079th worldwide.[15]

Research

Asian Institute of Management features several research centers and one incubator:

The Asian Institute of Management-Rizalino S. Navarro Policy Center for Competitiveness (AIM-RSN PCC) was established in 1996 and serves as AIM's public policy think tank and research arm. The Center focuses on emerging international economic trends and the demands of a competitive global trade and finance environment. AIM-RSN PCC was formerly known as the AIM Policy Center but was renamed in 2015 in honor of former Philippine Secretary of Trade and Industry Rizalino Navarro.

The Ramon V. del Rosario Sr.-Center for Corporate Social Responsibility (AIM RVR Center) focuses on corporate social responsibility and corporate governance. It was established in 2000 and conducts both research and non-research activities. The center was named after Ramon V. Del Rosario Sr., Founder and Chairman of the PHINMA Group. It manages the Hills Program on Governance established by the American International Group through its C.V. Starr Foundation.

The Team Energy Center for Bridging Leadership (CBL) was founded by Prof. Ernesto Garilao after he was inspired by a global research project on “bridging leadership” conducted by the Synergos Institute in 2000. CBL's focus is on developing “Bridging Leaders” who will address societal divides in the Philippines and in Asia. CBL was formerly called the Center for Bridging Societal Divides.

The Gov. Jose B. Fernandez Jr. Center for Banking and Finance (JBF) was launched in 1994 in honor of the late Philippine Central Bank governor Jose B. Fernandez Jr. JBF focuses on researching issues faced by the financial services industry, improving the competence of Asian financial managers, and building alliances between Asian business institutions.
