In the beginning, IPB Business School was named Master of Agrisbusiness Management IPB or better known as MMA-IPB. MMA-IPB already had an Alumni Organization called the Alumni Association of Master of Agribusiness Management (IAMMA). IAMMA was established on September 25, 1999 in Bogor at the 1st National Conference of MMA-IPB Alumni. The origin of IAMMA-IPB is the Alumni Association of Masters in Agribusiness Management of Bogor Agricultural University (HAMMAGRI-IPB) which was established on September 29, 1995 at the MMA-IPB Campus.
Along with the dynamics of a fast-growing business environment characterized by technological advances, globalization, competition and high complexity, professionals are needed at the conceptual level in the field of management and business, IPB evolved MMA-IPB into the Management and Business Postgraduate Program – Bogor Agricultural University (MB-IPB) with a new mandate to offer a doctoral program in business management.
After MB-IPB succeeded in producing graduates who took part in various fields by occupying top and key positions, IPB again evolved MB-IPB into Sekolah Bisnis IPB (SB-IPB) with the addition of a mandate to organize an undergraduate business program to educate the younger generation to become educated entrepreneurs. Thus, SB-IPB received the mandate to organize multi-strata programs, namely S1 Bachelor of Business, S2 Master of Business and S3 Doctor of Business.
Based on this background, IAMMA was again transformed into the Bogor Agricultural University School of Business Alumni Association (HA SB-IPB). HA-SB-IPB was established in Bogor on May 21, 2016, on the occasion of MUNAS I of SB-IPB alumni. The HA SB-IPB Secretariat Office is located in the SB-IPB Building Complex.
