History & Identity · CIS – Business Management School

CIS's history

CIS, the Scuola per la Gestione d'Impresa, was born in Reggio Emilia as an offshoot of the local industrial world, with the goal of providing local companies with management training pathways tailored to the specific needs of Emilia's productive fabric. Over more than two decades of activity the school has progressively broadened its scope, developing not only classic management training programs but also post-diploma training pathways and job placement support services for young people in the area.

The creation of the Human and Technology Training Center marked a significant step in the school's evolution, reflecting growing attention to digital transformation and technological innovation applied to business management. CIS has also developed international projects over time, broadening its perspective beyond local borders while maintaining a solid footing in the economic context of Reggio Emilia and Emilia, historically characterized by a fabric of excellent small and medium-sized manufacturing companies.

Reported strengths
  • Direct, ongoing relationship with client companies in the Reggio Emilia area
  • Human and Technology Training Center dedicated to digital innovation and human capital
  • Over twenty years of experience in professional and management education
  • Tailor-made projects for the specific needs of Emilia's productive fabric
Points to consider
  • No significant independent reviews found on general-purpose rating platforms
  • Online reputation oriented more toward the business world than an international student audience
  • Core business mainly oriented toward professional development courses for already-employed workers
In summary: for an international student interested in a structured university or postgraduate experience, CIS represents a less relevant option compared to business schools with a more traditional offer and a more developed international projection, as its value is measured mainly through direct relationships with client companies rather than online reputation.
