Our Mission

As a pioneer in advanced management education in South Asia, we endeavour to embody the knowledge and practice of management in the national and international contexts of management.

Our endeavour is to fashion management education and innovation in the Fivefold Path of Vision, Effort, Harmony, Restraint and Caring. And, our task is to develop leaders who will direct the energies of their men and women along the Fivefold Path and produce managers who will create value in their enterprises for the benefit of the larger society.

We, at the Postgraduate Institute of Management (PIM) in Sri Lanka, strongly believe that civilized human progress in modern times requires: 

• Knowledge-based study, strongly supported by action-learning,
• Continuous development of competence to perform,
• Unwavering commitment to disciplined professionalism and
• Devotion to innovation for the creation of value.

These are the four pillars of our program philosophy. We earnestly expect all those who enter our Institute to be imbued with this philosophy.
