Its core activities are management education, applied research and executive development for senior professionals and emerging leaders across Southeast Asia and the broader Asia-Pacific region. ASB targets graduate students, mid- to senior-level executives and corporations seeking Asia-focused management capabilities and executive training. Positioned in the higher-education sector as a private, internationally oriented business school, ASB is known for its formal collaboration with the MIT Sloan School of Management, which co-designs and co-delivers parts of the curriculum and contributes faculty. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, the school operates with a regional and global outlook, drawing students, faculty and corporate partners from across Asia and beyond. Distinguishing characteristics include its MIT Sloan affiliation, an Asia-centric curriculum, and a focus on experiential learning and corporate engagement. ASB is supported by Malaysian philanthropic and institutional backers rather than venture funding, and it continues to expand its executive education portfolio and research activities while growing its alumni and corporate client base across the region.
