The Oxford English Dictionary defines management as: “the professional administration of business concerns, public undertakings, etc.” The operative word is professional. The same dictionary defines it as: “having or showing the skill of a professional; competent.” That is the essence of the term management, in a nutshell.

The shifting trend from family-run businesses to professionally-managed professions post-independence prompted Dr. Vikram Sarabhai to initiate a ‘freedom movement’ of a different kind: freedom from traditional management mindsets.

In those days, not only was there a shortage of management skills per se, but even the facilities to impart these skills were none-existent. Therefore AMA had its role clearly chalked out: To conduct research, provide education, and impart training in the field of management.

AMA is one of the promoters and founder member of All India Management Association, the apex body for management profession in India, and has been collaborating and participating in all its educational and professional activities offered throughout the country.
