Each year, ISM offers its IEMBA students the opportunity to take part in special programs through its partner institutions: St John’s University in New York City, Temple University Japan in Tokyo, and with ISM's strategic partnerships in Shanghai. The purpose of the programs is not only the immediate and practical knowledge that students gain, but also the networking potential of making contacts through such visits.
