At ICM we are actively working towards our goal of becoming one of the world’s leading business educations with a particular focus on the knowledge-based economy. Our vision is to facilitate the development of global wealth and welfare by preparing tomorrow’s leaders with the unique capabilities to drive industry, academia, and society to new heights.

The past few years have seen the entrance of the knowledge based economy, i.e. industry and business are becoming more and more internationalized and globalized and the primary assets of a company are based on its control of knowledge. This programme focuses on this complexity.
