This week (Oct 16-18) the Coller School of Management at Tel Aviv University is hosting the Partnership in International Management (PIM) Conference attended by deans, academic staff and senior faculty of leading business schools from all over the world.

This is the first time that the Partnership in International Management (PIM) Conference is being hosted in Israel, with about 100 people in attendance. The School of Management at Tel Aviv University is the only Israeli member of PIM, which includes 63 business schools.

PIM assists in the development of international cooperation, joint programs, student and staff exchange, joint research, and cooperation between faculty and researchers. 

In light of the cooperation and as part of the international relations in the PIM organization, the School has student exchange agreements with leading schools that are members of the organization.

Zviran explained that “membership in the organization allows us to conduct an extensive exchange of students with business schools around the world. In addition to in-depth academics, we provide the students with a unique experience as part of an exchange semester abroad. This significant experience influences their outlook as managers in the business world in the international arena.
