Asian business schools oft employ English as language of instruction. One such school is the School of Business and Management (SBM) of the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) which is acknowledged as one of the main business schools in Indonesia.

This study, restricted to postgraduate programmes, inferred that really most students missed the EL abilities to perform well.
