With a commitment to nurturing human capital through management education and training at all levels, the HKMA offers over
2,000 training and education programmes covering a wide range of management disciplines for more than 50,000 executives every
year. From distance learning courses, seminars and workshops, certificates, diplomas, all the way to bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate
degree programmes jointly organized with prestigious overseas universities, these programmes are suitable for executives at different
stages of development. The HKMA also provides specially designed corporate training which geared to the particular needs of different
organizations. In 2015, The Institute of Advanced Management Development (AMD) was established to offer advanced management
programmes for senior executive development and management consulting services with a view to making significant contribution to
the growth of Hong Kong’s human capital and of the economy locally and regionally. The Institute of Healthcare Management (HCM)
was also lauched in 2017 aiming to offer world-class healthcare management programmes and to serve as a learning platform for
healthcare professional development.

The Association believes learning while networking works best for achieving continuous development. Diversified management
services are offered to provide platforms for business executives to exchange ideas, to network and to gain professional development.
Annually, the Association organizes diverse functions such as Annual Conference, special topic seminars, dinners and workshops.
Prominent business leaders are invited to share their invaluable insights and wisdom on the most updated trends and development of
management.

Business award is another major area of HKMA’s management services. To promote best practices in management, each year, the
Association organizes eight business awards in Hong Kong and the Mainland. These include the Best Annual Reports Awards, the
HKMA Quality Award, the Award for Excellence in Training and Development, the HKMA/TVB Awards for Marketing Excellence, the
Hong Kong Management Game, the Distinguished Salesperson Award, the Hong Kong Sustainability Award and the Award for China
Marketing Excellence. These prestigious awards, which are now regarded as the highest accolades of the business community, provide
an exemplary model for business professionals to follow and benchmark.

With a total of over 13,000 members including individuals and corporates, membership service has always been a priority for the
Association. A comprehensive range of membership activities such as seminars, forums, luncheons, company visits, study tours and
social gatherings are offered every year. Another distinctive feature of membership is the six autonomous Specialist Clubs which
provide opportunities for members with similar interests to meet and develop further their specialist knowledge. The highlight event of
membership is the Annual Fellowship Dinner which provides an excellent platform for members to extend their network.
