Check out Asian Institute of Management (AIM) in the Philippines. From my research, this is the best business school and by far the most expensive school in the Philippines. The teaching methodology used is case study. The cases are Harvard sponsored or cases from Harvard Business School. Most CEO's, top government officials and top executives in the Philippines graduated from AIM. The students are also diverse mostly from Asia such as India, Thailand, China, Taiwan, Philippines, Australia, Indonesia, etc. There is a strict requirement on years of work experience and GMAT score. I have been impressed by most graduates from this school. If you are from the US and you want to discuss Harvard cases in a Asian setting or to study how Asian leaders will process their thoughts given a business situation, this is a good school where you can study not only how most Asian leaders come up with a strategic solution but also, develop your network within Asia. Thus, the experience will make you understand the Asian culture.
In most Asian countries, the big corporations are mostly run by influential and wealthy families of generations, and relationship is very important. Some would say, to do business successfully in Asia, you have to be personal friends first before, professional. Thus, knowing someone from the inside circle like a family member or a close friend is key before you can make a connection. Many of them will go to top Asian MBA schools in India, Philippines, Hongkong and Singapore where you can meet them. My understanding is that AIM in the Philippines is one of the oldest schools where one of the founders Stephen Fuller, was the former Associate Dean for External Affairs in Harvard Business School. Stephen Fuller was the Associate Dean of Harvard Business School for External Afffairs in 1968 when he became the President of AIM in 1968. That is why the teaching methodology was patterned after Harvard Business School in Asian setting and why cases are Harvard-sponsored. The disadvantage is that, there are no American classmate that can provide more insights when discussing real American companies.
If you graduated from an Ivy League in the US for undergrad, it would be good to pursue an MBA with a top Asian MBA to give you a better perspective of the global marketplace. What is most valuable in pursuing a top Asian MBA is the network. For further research, go to
