About IIM

The history of The International Institute of Management ( IIM) dates back to early 1985. A group of graduates of The Institution of Industrial Managers (UK) started the branch in Hong Kong. Membership grew steadily over the years.

In 1992 the British Institute of Management (BIM) merged with The Institution of lndustrial Managers to form The Institute of Management (Imgt). Since there wasn’t a BIM branch in Asia-Pacific, the membership of the merged institute in Hong Kong was serviced by the Hong Kong branch of the former Institution of Industrial Managers after the merger.

With the focus of international trade on this region, membership found the relevance shifted. In 1994, at the Annual General Meeting, membership unanimously voted to form an independent professional institute that would be relevant and serve their needs better.

The Executive Committee was given the charter to draw the blueprints and form a new institute that aimed at promoting management practice at world-class standard with.an international perspective. This resulted in the incorporation of The International Institute of Management as a non-profit professional organization in Febrnary 1995.

In recognition of its admirable track record of promoting professional management practice and its
contribution to management development, IIM was granted Letters Patent of Armorial Bearings with
Supporters and Badge by the Royal College of Arms ( Coat-of-Arms).

The Institute has an active branch in Washington D.C., USA. Branches located in Mainland China, Macau
SAR, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, India, Sri Lanka ahd Canada are in the process of formation as
their membership grows. An elected Committee manages each local branch with much autonomy, while the
Headquarters maintains a coordinating role.

The International Headquarters of IIM is strategically located in Hong Kong to better serve managers
worldwide.

The objectives of the Institute are:

1.To improve the quality and productivity of business and industries;
2.To disseminate and network expertise in international management;
3.To encourage cross-national collaborations;
4.To advance professional management practice and competency;
5.To sponsor and conduct research in cross-cultural management.

With a multi-disciplined and multi-national membership, IIM, through its continuous professional development (CPD) programmes and network, will empower managers to creatively tackle problems and issues locally and internationally and promote a universal set of standards of management excellence.
