04The Institution Behind MDC
The Management Association of Nepal.
The national apex body of management professionals in Nepal — and the four-decade legacy that Management Development Campus is built upon.
The Management Association of Nepal (MAN) is the national apex body of management professionals in Nepal. Established in 1979 with the active support of the corporate sector, MAN is a non-profit, non-partisan, membership-based professional organisation dedicated to promoting management excellence, leadership development, and professional growth in Nepal.
For more than four decades, MAN has served as a leading platform for developing management professionalism and fostering a performance-oriented, productive, competitive, and socially responsible management culture. Through its initiatives, MAN has strengthened managerial capacity across the corporate, government, development, academic, and entrepreneurial sectors.
Today, MAN represents a vibrant network of over 2,500 individual members and more than 250 institutional members from across the Nepalese economy and society — a network for professional collaboration, knowledge exchange, leadership development, and policy engagement.
As a founding member of the Asian Association of Management Organizations (AAMO), MAN maintains strong regional and international connections, with professional linkages to the American Management Association (AMA), All India Management Association (AIMA), International Management Association of Japan (IMAJ), and North India Management Association (NIMA).
Over the years MAN has become a respected institution known for executive education, professional training, leadership forums, management conferences, policy dialogue, research, publications, and national recognition programmes such as the Manager of the Year Award. Management Development Campus (MDC), as a sister organisation, builds on this legacy with quality higher education and leadership training for the modern world.
