PIM - The Institution

 

PIM a pioneer in the field of executive development in Pakistan, specializes in the training and development of managers from business and industry. Its primary mission is to serve the growing and complex needs of organizational managers to achieve managerial excellence. Towards this end, PIM seeks to contribute to the enhancement of managerial skills through training, consultancy and research. Since its inception in 1954 more than 1,62,279 managers have participated in its courses.

PIM was established by the Government of Pakistan to promote management development in the country. It functions under the Ministry of Industries & Production with an autonomous Board of Governors appointed by the Federal Government. The Secretary, Ministry of Industries & Production, is the Chairman of the Board. The operating head of the Institute is a director, who is responsible for administrative and academic affairs and is also a member of the Board of Governors.

PIM is a non-profit organization and its financial requirements are derived from course fees, contributions from member organizations and government grants. It has been a recipient of technical assistance from many international aid-giving agencies and is widely recognized at home and abroad as the leading management development institute in the country.

Its linkage in the past with the Harvard Business School and with Arthur D. Little, P-E International and Ashridge Management College gives it strong international institutional support.

The Institute faculty consists of a multidisciplinary group of highly qualified and trained counsellors having a blend of academic and industrial experience. They are experts in their field of specialization many of whom hold advanced foreign qualifications. The full time faculty is supported by a group of visiting faculty drawn from business and industry.

The Evening MBA Program at PIM

In response to a growing demand from PIM’s long-standing clientele to launch a flexible EMBA program for their executives, PIM launched the EMBA program in 1998 in affiliation with the IBA Karachi. The 21st batch of EMBA students will graduate this year, and our alumni are currently working in national and multinational corporations across Pakistan.

The EMBA program at PIM aims to provide in service managers with the opportunity to upgrade their skills and qualifications while working in an increasingly competitive business environment. Today, the task of managing has become very challenging with globalization and the rapid pace of technological developments, making it critical for managers to constantly upgrade their skills and their knowledge base. The EMBA program at PIM with its flexible timings and built in options makes it easy for managers to work and improve their professional qualifications simultaneously. Classes are held in the evening from 6-9 p.m.

Course Design

PIM's MBA Program is designed to provide in-service managers with a comprehensive exposure to management theory and practical skills so that they can become better professionals, effective leaders, capable managers and more productive organizational members. The teaching methodology is PIM's time tested and successful mix of theory, lectures, cases studies, group discussions, real life projects, computerized simulations and practical research. Students will be evaluated comprehensively not only through examinations but through a continuous process of observation throughout their academic session to accurately evaluate their learning levels. The duration of PIM's MBA is 3 years and classes are held in the evenings thereby allowing in-service managers to undertake this academic upgradation with ease.
