The Arab International Society for Management Technology:

The Arab International Society for Management Technology (AIMICT) was established as a non-profit organization in 1989, in Buffalo-New York City, in the United States of America and it was officially registered in Amman in 1990 under the name of "Arab Management Society”. Arab managers and businessmen have realized the importance and consequences of their role in serving business communities in their countries and thus the idea of establishing such a society emerged into existence. In 2015, the name of the organization was amended into "The Arab International Society for Management Technology" (AIMICT), so as to keep pace with modern global technological developments in various sectors and to help establish and create a knowledge-based management.
