ISM University of Management and Economics is an institution of undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate education in business, management and economics. The University serves as an advanced centre of market analysis, executive training and leading academic thought.
ISM University of Management and Economics was established in Kaunas in 1999 as the first privately owned institution of management education in Lithuania. The main founders of ISM are Norwegian School of Management and The Norwegian Industrial and Regional Development fund. The predecessor of ISM was the Business Training Centre, well-known executive training institution in Lithuania.
Since the 1995, when the Business Training Centre took the beginning, the main motive power was to contribute to the development of Lithuanian business community in providing up to date management knowledge. By offering a variety of executive courses, management training programs, market research, personnel evaluation, BMC was recognized as a leading institution of management training and consulting in Lithuania. Now BMC is the training and consulting department at ISM.
[edit] The campus
Studying facilities are arranged in the very centres of Lithuania’s two major cities: Kaunas and Vilnius. In Vilnius, the Capital, ISM resides in a 14th century building of a former monastery fully equipped in modern way. While in Kaunas, the campus is established in a newly reconstructed three-floor building from the early 1920s.
