History

MISI was formed in March 2011 as an academic institute focused on Supply Chain Management. [3] MISI admitted its first batch of graduate students for its flagship 10-month, residential Master of Science in Supply Chain Management program. Organizations such as InvestKL [4] considered MISI to be a partner for attracting foreign companies to invest in the Greater Kuala Lumpur region. [5] In the first ten years, nearly 50 multinational, regional, and local companies partnered with MISI for applied research projects and executive education in supply chain management and procurement. [6]

MISI was a member of the MIT Global SCALE Network until 2021, when it was reorganized under Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and decided to end its affiliation with MIT. [7]
