it was in 1955 the institute of public and business administration (ipba) was established, making it the oldest business school outside north america. initial technical support was provided by the world famous wharton school of finance, university of pennsylvania. soon after the university of southern california set up various facilities at the institute and several prominent american professors were assigned to the iba. the course contents, the curriculum, the pedagogical tools and the assessment and testing methods were developed under the guidance of reputed scholars from these two institutions. iba has zealously guarded the high standards and academic traditions it had inherited from wharton and usc while adapting and adjusting them with the passage of time.
