National
Institute of Business Management
The
National Institute of Business Management (NIBM) was established in
1968 under the purview of Ministry of Industries and Scientific
affairs in collaboration with the UNDP, with ILO functioning as the
executing agency. Since its establishment, the NIBM has aimed at
achieving excellence in the programmes it offeres to its clients,
drawn from the public and private sectors in Sri Lanka.
The
main objectives of the institute as spelt out in the NIBM
(Amendment) Act of 1991 are as follows:
·
To provide for and promote Business Management Education and
Training
·
To provide Management Consultancy and Advisory Services
·
To facilitate improvement of Productivity
These
objects are achieved through the two divisions of the institute.
These are the Management Information Systems Division, and the
Productivity and Management Development Division. At the inception,
Management, Consultancy, and Productivity were the key areas of
study. The Productivity and Management Development Division was
created through the recent amalgamation of the Productivity
Facilitation Division and Management Development Division. In 1979
the NIBM took a step towards education excellence by introducing the
Diploma in Computer System Design. This was further developed with
the introduction of the Higher Diploma in Computer Based Information
Systems in 1989.
The
BSc in MIS programme commenced in collaboration with the National
University of Ireland in 1996. This programme provides Sri Lankan
students with a unique opportunity to acquire an internationally
recognized degree qualification and thereby provide them with equal
access to all world wide Masters Degrees and other opportunities as
available to all students from UCD.
So far 1000 students have been awarded the BSc degree in MIS. The
pass rate is over 98%.
