Originally founded in 1990 as IDB-Wirtschaftsakademie in Dortmund by Klaus Evard, it was renamed the International School of Management (ISM) in 1992. In 1994 it was recognized as a private university of applied sciences for originally five years and received an extension. The company shares were taken over in 1998 by ESO Education Group. [2] [3]

In 2006, in accordance with the Bologna Process, ISM switched the Diploma courses to Bachelor and Master courses.

In 2010, Bert Rürup became president of ISM and moved to the board of trustees in 2013. He was succeeded by the previous vice president, Ingo Böckenholt. The managing directors are Silvia Semidei (who is also managing director of the parent organization ESO) and Ingo Böckenholt. In 2025, there was a change in the executive committee and management. In addition to Silvia Semidei, Prof. Dr. Audrey Mehn, Daisuke Motoki, and Karsten Gardy have been on the management board since then. [5]
