Welcome to the ASU West IIM Web Site!

This Web Site is designed to give businesses, faculty and students access to resources and information that will help them succeed both in the workplace and in the classroom.  

IIM Goals

  Our goal is to offer structured educational programs to prepare our customers for the increasingly complex and global business environment and help them develop skills to move across borders that are not just geographical, but also organizational, cultural, and intellectual.

One of our highest goals is to secure ongoing relationships and partnerships with local, national and international businesses. We believe that public/private partnerships provide an essential bridge between students, faculty, and businesses for research, consulting, cultural immersion and career development.

The Institute has hosted a series of seminars providing timely and relevant advice for organizations doing business or considering doing business in Europe and the Pacific Rim. Active U.S. and European practitioners and experts conducted "Cultural Gateways to Business in the European Union," a series of day-long seminars. These experts shared relevant information on cultural issues associated with doing business in Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, and the Benelux countries.

"Markets and Marketing Opportunities in Vietnam" brought a list of distinguished speakers to the ASU West campus. This conference gave attendees an overview of Vietnam’s investment climate, techniques of marketing to Vietnamese consumers, and legal accounting and banking issues associated with doing business in Vietnam. Participants included Le Van Bang, Vietnam’s ambassador to the United States; Ha Hui Thong, the number 2 official at the Vietnamese Embassy in Washington D.C.; and Tom Valleyely of the Harvard Institute of International Development in Cambridge, Mass.
