AIM has been known as the "Harvard of Asia" because it uses the case method as the primary mode of learning in all its programs. In collaboration with a seasoned professor, students analyze real-life problems in class discussions and learn important concepts and skills. They are drilled by evaluating hundreds of cases during their course to sharpen their managerial skills. AIM is known for its intense and practitioner-oriented approach to management education. An AIM education means rigorous training, up-to-date management concepts, and emphasis on analytical, people management, and leadership skills.
