American Management Association
    American Management Association (AMA) provides educational forums world wide where members and their colleagues learn superior, practical business skills and explore best practices of world-class organizations through interaction with each other and expert faculty practitioners. AMA's publishing program provides tools individuals use to extend learning beyond the classroom in a process of life-long professional growth and development through education.

    In the United States, seminars are conducted at AMA centers in New York City; Chicago; Washington, D.C.; Atlanta; and San Francisco; and at hotels in over 300 other cities across the country.

    Programs are also offered throughout the world at AMA centers in Brussels (Management Centre Europe); Tokyo (AMA International Management Center); Islamabad (American Management Association Pakistan); Buenos Aires (American Management Association Argentina) ; Shanghai (The Asia-Pacific Management Institute); and in our affiliated centers in Toronto (Canadian Management Centre); and Mexico City (Management Center de Mexico). The full range of AMA instructional products and services is available to meet the burgeoning training needs of the global management community.

    In addition, we have developed special Partnerships with local management training organizations in other key areas of the world. Here we combine the local marketing and operational know-how of our partners with AMA's unique delivery techniques and management expertise to carry AMA products and services to ever increasing areas of the world. We currently have Partnerships in Brazil, Chile, India, Indonesia, Korea, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, and Trinidad and Tobago. We are finalizing new Partnerships in Australia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and Vietnam.

    American Management Association traces its origins back to 1913 with the founding of the National Association of Corporation Schools (later to become the National Association of Corporation Training). By 1922, this group had merged with the Industrial Relations Association of America (founded in 1918 as the National Association of Employment Managers), to form the National Personnel Association whose Board of Directors then chose the new name, American Management Association, in 1923.

    AMA now serves approximately 70,000 members -- corporations, organizations and individuals -- who are interested in the methodology and best contemporary management practices. Two million management customers pass through AMA's doors annually, on a worldwide basis.

    The range of AMA programs is broad and multifaceted, encompassing all of the disciplines of management in every type and size of organization: finance; general and administrative services; strategic management; human resources; information systems and technology; insurance and risk management; international management; manufacturing; purchasing; research and development; and sales and marketing. In addition a wide range of management development and interpersonal skills-related programs are offered.

    Within each of these disciplines, there are programs geared to various levels of professionalism: some are for beginners who are about to take the first steps into management; some are for middle management professionals who are seeking to keep their managerial skills up-to date; and other programs are for upper and middle managers who are interested in learning the latest trends and techniques of management.

    One of the best known AMA programs is the Management Course. This course is taken in four one-week units and is designed to provide a hands-on practical grounding in management finance, marketing, and leadership.
