Asian Institute of Management   

In 1965, three of the top schools in the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila, De La Salle College and the University of the Philippines approached the Ford Foundation with competing financial assistance proposals to upgrade their respective business education offerings. However, the Ford Foundation had a much larger vision in mind: that of elevating business education for the entire Asian region. So it urged the universities to consolidate their efforts instead – a landmark idea, for they had never before considered collaborating on any inter-university program.

The following year the Ford Foundation gave a five-year US$1.2 million grant to the Ateneo de manila, De La Salle and Philippine and Inter-University Consortium for the development of a full-time MBA program, with Harvard University as project grant administrator. An advisory group was assembled and sent to Manila, led by Harvard’s Professor Ralph Z. Sorenson. The Harvard Advisory Group suggested a merge of the schools, to establish one institution.

By February 1968, a completed project report appeared, entitled “Asian Institute of Management: A Joint Project of Ateneo De Manila University and De La Salle College.” And so the Institute was named.

The Asian Institute of Management, or simply AIM, is a graduate school of business and a center of business and management research. It is one of the few business schools in Asia to be internationally accredited with the AACSB. It was established in partnership with Harvard Business School[1] and uses the Harvard Business School case study teaching methodologies. It was described by Asiaweek magazine (a TIME publication) as the best in the Asia-Pacific region in terms of executive education [2].

It was co-founded in 1968 by Ralph Z. Sorenson, a graduate of Amherst College and the Harvard Business School, and through an agreement by the Ateneo de Manila University and De La Salle University-Manila. It is located in Makati City, Manila, Philippines. AIM has a local board of trustees and an international board of governors. Today, AIM teaches over twenty distinct programs each year.

It received the Ramon Magsaysay Award for International Understanding in 1995, for training Asians in management of business and development. AIM also became the world's first graduate school of management to receive the ISO 14001 standard in 2000 .
 
Programs

The Washington SyCip Graduate School of Business has two degree programs: the 16-month Master in Business Administration and the 11-month Master in Management. Instruction is based primarily on the case method developed at Harvard Business School. The school applies American and European management principles to problems in Asia. Over the decades, however, the school has built up a bank of its own Asian cases.

The Center for Development Management (CDM) is an authority in the field of development management in Asia. Since its inception in the early 1980s, CDM has helped governments, multilateral and development organizations, and public institutions in the region. CDM has an 11-month Master in Development Management program intended for executives and managers from developing nations. In addition, CDM conducts research, certificate courses in development management, and institution-building activities for Asian organizations. The center teaches development managers in matters that involve social and economic development of sectors, most especially the marginalized.

The Executive Education and Life Long Learning Center (EXCELL) programs assists executives in the Asian region to become managers and leaders. It offers the 18-month Executive MBA, rated No. 1 by Asiaweek in 2000[2].

International Movement of Development Managers (IMDM)
 
History 
Around 2003, three students of Master in Development Management, Henry Tenedero, Toti Dulay and Allan Ambil, who are now fondly called “bandidos”,  went to the office of Dean Poch Macaranas of Center for Development Management,  proposing an alumni association exclusively for the graduates of the program. Pros and cons had been discussed, including two previous attempts of the earlier batches to organize similar groups that failed. Eventually, Dean Macaranas gave the go signal and Program Director Edel Guiza took the initial salvo in the class and among the alumni. Henry Tenedero decided to make the proposed organization as his masteral thesis and every batch were requested to send a representatives in the board.   The whole batch eventually organized the 1st National Conference for Development with no less than President Fidel V.Ramos and a host of influential personalities in attendance. AIM professors volunteered to speak on important topics pro bono. The conference was able to raise substantial amount which was to become the initial seed money of the trust fund of the organization. The alumni organization is now known as the International Movement of Development Managers (IMDM). The formal creation of the organization was attended by all batches, individually writing in a blank paper their solemn promises for the organization, and the papers were ceremonially put in a 16th century Lakan Dula antique plate, a heirloom of the Dulay Clan of Marikina Valley.
The “bandidos” later expanded to include Pons Carpio and Coratec Jiminez who later became the founding president of the organization. Carpio and Dulay are  brother in the UP Vanguard Fraternity.
 
As a side story, these founders have also a hand in The Globalist Manifesto, as printed in the website of Prof. Ed Morato.
 
The Founding Officers
 
IMDM is the official alumni association of the graduates of Asian Institute of Management(AIM), Master in Development Management(MDM). This association, however, is open to non AIM MDM graduates in any part of the world who shows dedication to the cause of development, thereby making the association an international movement.
