MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGEMENT                                                                                         3




     The world is changing incredibly fast. The changes that have occurred
over the past few decades have had a greater influence on the world than
those that happened over the past few centuries. Knowledge and the
constant search for new ways to apply it are among the key factors of
change. All of it is perceived as entrepreneurship, which we more often
tend to view as the ability to create a better world and assume personal
responsibility. At our university, we interpret entrepreneurship as the 3I’s:
idea, initiative, and implementation. Ideas are impossible without creativity,
initiative is impossible without responsibility, and implementation is impos-
sible without knowledge.
     Everyone has a number of ideas and projects in mind, but only few take
the initiative to turn them into products that are beneficial for the whole
humanity. Entrepreneurs are not afraid of experimenting: they are not
afraid of making mistakes. The fear of making mistakes forces us to behave
stereotypically and think in clichés. If we are to discover new things, we
must take risks—that is, take the path that has never been taken before,
even if mistakes are inevitable.
     As we search and discover, learning becomes exceptionally important.
A teacher cannot restrict himself or herself to lecturing only. The mission of
every teacher is to impart wisdom. A university is a ship that we take to
satisfy our hunger for learning, and a teacher is the leader of the expedition
that students are eager to follow to experience the joy of discovery. This is
how entrepreneurs—the real creators of the world—are born.

                                                ISM has done remarkabel achievements in a few years of operation. The
                                          University has become a high quality supplier of business education in Lithuania
                                          and beyond. A major reason for this is the entrepreneurial spirit of the organi-
                                          sation. The effect is recruitment of top quality students and top quality faculty.
                                          ISM will allways focus on how things can be done better and how to improve
                                          the programmes to serve the business society and students even better. ISM
                                          lives as ISM learns.
                                               BI Norwegian Business School is proud to be one of the founders of ISM
                                          and to be a major academic partner on different study programmes and
                                          research. I am sure that ISM in the years to come will take major steps in
                                          achieving even more international recognition.

   ISM is itself an excellent
example of entrepreneur-
ship. The initiative of the
founders to be the first in
Lithuania to introduce the
Western tradition of business
education has made ISM the
best business university in the
country. Today ISM has well-
founded ambitions, huge
motivation, and the ability to
see itself in a broader inter-
national context. Our orien-
tation towards success sets
entrepreneurship at the very
heart of the ISM way-of-life.

ISM Excellent 100
Partnership Programme
    In 2011 the University launched
an ISM Excellent 100 Partnership
Programme, inviting companies to
establish scholarships for the 100
best students of social sciences. By
establishing scholarships companies
not only contribute to stopping
brain-drain to foreign countries, but
also establish mutually beneficial
relations with students: knowing the
best students, they will be able to
offer them internships or permanent
jobs on graduation.
    The ISM Excellent 100 Partnership
Programme is based on financing the
difference between the tuition fee        The Results of ISM
charged by the University and the         Excellent 100 for 2011
funding allocated by the state. For
the past few years this difference has    71 students admitted
been financed for some of the best
students by the University itself, and    14 companies joined the
from now on a larger number of            programme
students will be able to study com-
pletely free of charge.                   29 scholarships issued

                                         plays an important role in Lithuanian
                                         society and that the 100 Excellent
                                         Programme can help improve its
                                         economic development.

On the Way to EQUIS Accreditation
    The Quality Centre was established in March 2011 with the aim to monitor and evalu-
ate academic quality at ISM, provide feedback to the social partners (students, professors,
administrative staff, shareholders, employers, and ministry) and propose ways of quality
improvement.
    In the same year, the Quality Assurance System Improvement project was started with                        EQUIS
the help of LTL 1.5 million from EU structural funds. The aim of the project is to review the
processes and to write a Quality Handbook, in line with the EQUIS Standard, which would
help improve quality processes and provision of quality education.
                                                                                                        accreditation
    ISM strives continuously for the highest study quality standards approved by prestigious
quality assurance institutions worldwide and is applying for EQUIS accreditation to prove
                                                                                                     is our strategic

A better Place to Study and Work
  In 2011 the University received LTL 3.6 million (EUR 1.04 million) from the
EU Structural Funds for its infrastructure upgrade project. The total value of
the project is estimated at LTL 4.2 million (EUR 1.22 million), and the remain-
ing part of the project will be financed from the University’s own funds.
Main Project activities include:                                                       Our students,
   renewal of audiovisual equipment in classrooms
   installation of a new studies information system                                       faculty and
   renewal of computers in classrooms and those used by employees
   installation of particularly modern lecture-recording and distance              administrative staff
   learning classrooms in the Vilnius and Kaunas campuses                         will benefit from more user-friendly and
   major renewal of the website                                                         up-to-date hardware and software.




                                            The library Tests New Business Models
                                               The Library's main innovation, the online bookstore ISM Books was launched
                                            in 2011.
                                               There is a plethora of specialised thematic literature published in the world
                                            and it becomes very difficult to select the best one. This universally accessible
                                            electronic bookstore offers books and publications that have been evaluated
                                            and recommended by our university professors.
                                               The ISM bookstore is a unique business model not only in Lithuania but
                                            also worldwide. Every day, depending on the information needs of the
                                            academic community, we can make specific titles available. By expanding
                                            the activities of the library to a virtual bookstore accessible to all, we will
                                            become more open and useful.
I think ISM is one of the most progressive universities in
              Lithuania and I am very lucky to be slightly involved with
              the Business Council. It is very rewarding to see how your
              experience can translate into useful knowledge and aware-
              ness about many different things and help new students
              build their lives, business.

  Close ties with the business world is a priority. Knowledge, the
ability to anticipate trends, and shared information are impor-
tant in conducting research, educating students, and advising
companies. Business people are encouraged to actively partici-
pate in university life, while students and teachers are encou-
raged to be open to business.

An ISM Generation of Business Leaders
    The University sees its alumni as ISM certified ambassadors. We realise that their
professional value depends on the reputation of ISM, while their reputation, in turn,
adds value to ISM.
    By 2011 ISM had 1,890 alumni. This is a whole new generation of leaders who
have made a significant impact on the development of Lithuanian businesses. Initia-
tive, creative and striving for success – ISM alumni are among the most wanted
employees and top executives.

   For the second year in a row the De Baak Leadership Institute (The Nether-
lands) is bringing participants of the Young Executive Programme (YEP) to the
ISM Executive School. YEP is an intensive leadership programme intended for
managers between the age of 28-38, who want to give their personal develop-
ment and their leadership development a kick-start. By coming to Lithuania                 Other executive
participants of YEP swing from ‘safe at home’ to ‘intercultural and international’
and so discover new perspectives which can be of help in their leadership.                        students

    ISM Executive School is the first in Lithuania (since 2000) to introduce the case
study approach in the Master’s Studies programme for executives. During the
first five years, ISM mostly used case descriptions of foreign firms, because the
Lithuanian case studies were not yet developed.
    A few years ago the situation began to change owing to quite a simple
solution – instead of research papers, students of the ISM Executive Master’s
programme began writing Lithuanian case studies. This practice was successful
at the university.
    In 2008, ISM started learning the professional methodology for case study
writing, and invited respective lecturers from Great Britain. Today we have the
first professional Lithuanian case studies developed.

                                                  For business communities, the case studies represent an opportunity to
                                               look at their problems through the eyes of focused students. While I was
                                               studying at ISM, I saw how a detailed and in-depth analysis of a business case
                                               helps identify solutions to many problems.
                                                  Javinė’s case was one of the first Lithuanian business cases prepared by ISM.
The purpose of spreading the idea of entrepreneur-
             ship is to bring together different stakeholders – gov-
             ernment, experts, academia, businesses, and youth to
             share knowledge, experience, good practices, and to
             raise awareness that entrepreneurship is a life-long
             learning experience, which starts at school level and
             continues into further education.

  • 3. MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGEMENT 3 The world is changing incredibly fast. The changes that have occurred over the past few decades have had a greater influence on the world than those that happened over the past few centuries. Knowledge and the constant search for new ways to apply it are among the key factors of change. All of it is perceived as entrepreneurship, which we more often tend to view as the ability to create a better world and assume personal responsibility. At our university, we interpret entrepreneurship as the 3I’s: idea, initiative, and implementation. Ideas are impossible without creativity, initiative is impossible without responsibility, and implementation is impos- sible without knowledge. Everyone has a number of ideas and projects in mind, but only few take the initiative to turn them into products that are beneficial for the whole humanity. Entrepreneurs are not afraid of experimenting: they are not afraid of making mistakes. The fear of making mistakes forces us to behave stereotypically and think in clichés. If we are to discover new things, we must take risks—that is, take the path that has never been taken before, even if mistakes are inevitable. As we search and discover, learning becomes exceptionally important. A teacher cannot restrict himself or herself to lecturing only. The mission of every teacher is to impart wisdom. A university is a ship that we take to satisfy our hunger for learning, and a teacher is the leader of the expedition that students are eager to follow to experience the joy of discovery. This is how entrepreneurs—the real creators of the world—are born. Dr. Nerijus Pačėsa President ISM has done remarkabel achievements in a few years of operation. The University has become a high quality supplier of business education in Lithuania and beyond. A major reason for this is the entrepreneurial spirit of the organi- sation. The effect is recruitment of top quality students and top quality faculty. ISM will allways focus on how things can be done better and how to improve the programmes to serve the business society and students even better. ISM lives as ISM learns. BI Norwegian Business School is proud to be one of the founders of ISM and to be a major academic partner on different study programmes and research. I am sure that ISM in the years to come will take major steps in achieving even more international recognition. Jens P. Tøndel Chairman of the Board, BI Norwegian Business School

  • 6. 6 INSPIRED BY ENTREPRENEURSHIP ISM is itself an excellent example of entrepreneur- ship. The initiative of the founders to be the first in Lithuania to introduce the Western tradition of business education has made ISM the best business university in the country. Today ISM has well- founded ambitions, huge motivation, and the ability to see itself in a broader inter- national context. Our orien- tation towards success sets entrepreneurship at the very heart of the ISM way-of-life. ISM Excellent 100 Partnership Programme In 2011 the University launched an ISM Excellent 100 Partnership Programme, inviting companies to establish scholarships for the 100 best students of social sciences. By establishing scholarships companies not only contribute to stopping brain-drain to foreign countries, but also establish mutually beneficial relations with students: knowing the best students, they will be able to offer them internships or permanent jobs on graduation. The ISM Excellent 100 Partnership Programme is based on financing the difference between the tuition fee The Results of ISM charged by the University and the Excellent 100 for 2011 funding allocated by the state. For the past few years this difference has 71 students admitted been financed for some of the best students by the University itself, and 14 companies joined the from now on a larger number of programme students will be able to study com- pletely free of charge. 29 scholarships issued MARIE DOUŠOVÁ Nestle Baltics, General Manager, member of ISM Business Council I am proud that Nestle is one of the sponsors of such a leading educa- tion institution as ISM. We believe ISM plays an important role in Lithuanian society and that the 100 Excellent Programme can help improve its economic development.
  • 7. INSPIRED BY ENTREPRENEURSHIP 7 On the Way to EQUIS Accreditation The Quality Centre was established in March 2011 with the aim to monitor and evalu- ate academic quality at ISM, provide feedback to the social partners (students, professors, administrative staff, shareholders, employers, and ministry) and propose ways of quality improvement. In the same year, the Quality Assurance System Improvement project was started with EQUIS the help of LTL 1.5 million from EU structural funds. The aim of the project is to review the processes and to write a Quality Handbook, in line with the EQUIS Standard, which would help improve quality processes and provision of quality education. accreditation ISM strives continuously for the highest study quality standards approved by prestigious quality assurance institutions worldwide and is applying for EQUIS accreditation to prove is our strategic itself as a genuine international, creative and entrepreneurial business university. goal.

Lithuania is currently facing a lack of young Mindaugas Glodas, Microsoft research fellows, and the new programme is expected to help the univer- sity train professional researchers and professors.

  • 8. 8 INSPIRED BY ENTREPRENEURSHIP A better Place to Study and Work In 2011 the University received LTL 3.6 million (EUR 1.04 million) from the EU Structural Funds for its infrastructure upgrade project. The total value of the project is estimated at LTL 4.2 million (EUR 1.22 million), and the remain- ing part of the project will be financed from the University’s own funds. Main Project activities include: Our students, renewal of audiovisual equipment in classrooms installation of a new studies information system faculty and renewal of computers in classrooms and those used by employees installation of particularly modern lecture-recording and distance administrative staff learning classrooms in the Vilnius and Kaunas campuses will benefit from more user-friendly and major renewal of the website up-to-date hardware and software. The library Tests New Business Models The Library's main innovation, the online bookstore ISM Books was launched in 2011. There is a plethora of specialised thematic literature published in the world and it becomes very difficult to select the best one. This universally accessible electronic bookstore offers books and publications that have been evaluated and recommended by our university professors. The ISM bookstore is a unique business model not only in Lithuania but also worldwide. Every day, depending on the information needs of the academic community, we can make specific titles available. By expanding the activities of the library to a virtual bookstore accessible to all, we will become more open and useful.
  • 9. I think ISM is one of the most progressive universities in Lithuania and I am very lucky to be slightly involved with the Business Council. It is very rewarding to see how your experience can translate into useful knowledge and aware- ness about many different things and help new students build their lives, business. Ilja Laurs, member of the ISM Business Council, is the Founder of GetJar, the world’s largest open mobile application store. Ilja has been nominated ‘European Manager of the Year 2011’ by the European Business Press Association, ‘25 European Tech Leaders’ by the Wall Street Journal, ‘10 Start-ups That Will Change Your Life’ by TIME magazine,‘Technology Pioneer 2011’ by the World Economic Forum. 151 3 10 STAYING CONNECTED 2 2,323
  • 10. 10 STAYING CONNECTED Close ties with the business world is a priority. Knowledge, the ability to anticipate trends, and shared information are impor- tant in conducting research, educating students, and advising companies. Business people are encouraged to actively partici- pate in university life, while students and teachers are encou- raged to be open to business. ISM Business Council – True Partnership The Business Council is an advisory body to the President.

We realise that their professional value depends on the reputation of ISM, while their reputation, in turn, adds value to ISM. By 2011 ISM had 1,890 alumni.

ISM Executive School is the first in Lithuania (since 2000) to introduce the case study approach in the Master’s Studies programme for executives. During the first five years, ISM mostly used case descriptions of foreign firms, because the Lithuanian case studies were not yet developed. A few years ago the situation began to change owing to quite a simple solution – instead of research papers, students of the ISM Executive Master’s programme began writing Lithuanian case studies. This practice was successful at the university. In 2008, ISM started learning the professional methodology for case study writing, and invited respective lecturers from Great Britain. Today we have the first professional Lithuanian case studies developed. VITALIJA FREITAKAITĖ Director of the company Javinė, ISM Executive School Alumna. For business communities, the case studies represent an opportunity to look at their problems through the eyes of focused students. While I was studying at ISM, I saw how a detailed and in-depth analysis of a business case helps identify solutions to many problems. Javinė’s case was one of the first Lithuanian business cases prepared by ISM.
