EFMD Membership: Opening a World of Opportunities for Our Students 

We are pleased to announce that HIM Business School has become a Full Member of the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). This membership marks a significant milestone for HIM and our Bachelor of Business Administration program and brings with it a myriad of advantages that will greatly enhance the educational and professional experience for HIM students. 

EFMD: A Catalyst for Excellence 

Founded in 1972, EFMD is a global, non-profit, membership-driven organization dedicated to management development. Recognized worldwide as an accreditation body for business schools, business school programs, and corporate universities, EFMD acts as a catalyst to promote and enhance excellence in management development. With a vast network of 30,000 professionals from academia, business, public service, and consultancies, EFMD shapes the global approach to management education and provides a unique platform for information, research, networking, and debate on innovation and best practices. 

EFMD’s mission is clear: to act as a catalyst for promoting and enhancing excellence in management development globally. This mission aligns perfectly with HIM’s commitment to providing a world-class education and cultivating an environment of continuous improvement and innovation. 

Networking with Prestigious Institutions 

One of the most significant benefits of our membership in EFMD is the unparalleled networking opportunities it offers. EFMD connects us with some of the most prestigious business schools and management development institutions around the world. This connection is not just a superficial association but a deep, collaborative engagement that opens doors to a wealth of knowledge, best practices, and innovative approaches in management education. 

For our students, this means access to a global network of peers, educators, and industry leaders. Networking is a crucial component of professional growth, and through EFMD, our students can build relationships that will support their careers long after they graduate. These connections provide a platform for exchanging ideas, learning from diverse perspectives, and developing a global outlook on business and management practices.  

Participation in International Projects 

EFMD membership also offers our students the opportunity to participate in international projects, particularly in areas like entrepreneurship and innovation. These projects are not only academic exercises but real-world engagements that challenge students to apply their knowledge, think critically, and develop innovative solutions to complex problems. 

Participating in international projects provides students with hands-on experience that is invaluable in today’s globalized business environment. It builds a sense of cultural awareness and adaptability, essential traits for any business leader. Additionally, these projects often involve collaboration with students and professionals from different countries, further enriching the learning experience and broadening our students’ perspectives. 

Enhancing Academic Excellence 

Membership in EFMD is synonymous with a commitment to academic excellence. EFMD’s rigorous standards and continuous improvement processes ensure that member institutions remain at the forefront of management education. For HIM, this means a continuous alignment with global best practices and a commitment to providing the highest quality education.  

Our association with EFMD allows us to participate in various benchmarking exercises and peer reviews, helping us identify areas for improvement and implement changes that enhance the quality of our programs. This ongoing process of evaluation and enhancement ensures that our curriculum remains relevant, rigorous, and aligned with the needs of the global business community. 

Research and Innovation 

EFMD’s emphasis on research and innovation resonates deeply with HIM’s mission to advance knowledge and foster innovation. As a member of EFMD, HIM gains access to a vast repository of research publications, case studies, and industry reports. This access supports our faculty and students in their research endeavors, providing them with the latest insights and developments in the field of management.  

Moreover, EFMD’s various conferences, workshops, and seminars provide a platform for our faculty and students to present their research, gain feedback from peers, and engage in meaningful discussions on contemporary issues in management. These opportunities not only enhance the visibility of our research but also create a culture of continuous learning and intellectual curiosity within our institution.  

Developing Socially Responsible Leaders  

EFMD is committed to developing socially responsible leaders and managers, a goal that aligns perfectly with HIM’s values. Through various initiatives and programs, EFMD promotes the integration of social responsibility and ethical leadership into management education. This focus ensures that our students not only excel in their professional careers but also contribute positively to society. 

HIM’s curriculum, enriched by our association with EFMD, emphasizes the importance of ethical decision-making, sustainability, and social responsibility. Our students are encouraged to consider the broader impact of their actions and to strive for a balance between profitability and societal well-being. This comprehensive approach to education prepares them to become responsible leaders who can navigate the complexities of the modern business world with integrity and foresight. 

A Collaborative Learning Environment 

The collaborative nature of EFMD membership builds a sense of community and shared purpose among member institutions. This collaborative spirit extends to our students, who benefit from joint programs, exchange opportunities, and collaborative projects with students from other EFMD member schools. 

These collaborative opportunities enhance the learning experience by exposing our students to different teaching methods, cultural perspectives, and business practices. They learn to work in diverse teams, develop intercultural competence, and build a global network of peers. This experience is invaluable in preparing them for leadership roles in an increasingly interconnected world. 

Becoming world ready 

HIM’s membership in the European Foundation for Management Development is a milestone in our journey towards academic excellence in business and global recognition as a unique business school. We are pleased to be now able to offer our students expanded opportunities in networking, international projects, and innovative research. 

We are now integrating these new opportunities, and leveraging our EFMD membership to fortify our world-class education that will make our students even more world ready.
