BI Norwegian Business School was founded in 1943 by Finn Øien as Bedriftøkonomisk Institut (English: Institute of Managerial Economics), hence the abbreviation BI.
BI offers a full set of programs for bachelor, master, and doctoral degrees, as well as executive education and tailor-made programs for businesses. The teaching languages are English (BBA and graduate programs) and Norwegian (majority of undergraduate programs and custom programs for local businesses). The school currently participates in exchange programs with 200 foreign institutions in 45 countries.
The internationally award winning main campus in Nydalen (Oslo) was designed by Niels Torp, who also designed Gardermoen Airport.
Norsk Kundebarometer (NKB) (English: Norwegian customer barometer) is a research program run by BI, with a focus on relations between customers and businesses. Based on an annual survey of Norwegian households, it collects data that may be used for comparison between businesses, comparisons between various industries, and comparisons over time.
BI has educated roughly 1700 students in China through its close relationship with Fudan University in Shanghai, and is also the majority shareholder of the ISM University of Management and Economics (previously known as International School of Management) with around 1800 students located in Vilnius and Kaunas in Lithuania.
