Pursuing simultaneous solutions to challenges with multiple axes, we continue to strive with a strong sense of collective ownership, contributing to all organizations and manufacturing industries.

The Japan Management Association (JMA) has both reached its 70th anniversary and begun a new start as a general incorporated association.
Currently, Japan's manufacturing industries, all organizational entities, and society itself is facing three challenges. The first is "the reality of established globality", a world without borders.
The second is "the need for innovation strength" in order to create new business models and new technologies that can find simultaneous solutions to challenges with multiple axes.
The third is "the nurturing of talent" that can possess an outlook that embraces both "material civilization" and "culture and soul".
Solving these three challenges is the key to how Japanese society will produce new strength.
There are proposals and concepts that JMA alone can make, as JMA has positioned itself outside any specific industry field, it does not limit itself to a single axis and it has kept the nurturing of talent as its main theme for many years.
We continue to strive with a strong collective ownership to be helpful to the manufacturing industry and all organizational entities in order to recover from the great disaster, and pursue an escape from Japan's longstanding economic doldrums.

From industry to organisation, we support management innovation in various fields.

Through our members, Board of Directors, Advisory Councils and trustees, we work to ascertain the needs of all parties, contributing to the development of Japanese enterprises. At present, we are focused on management innovation in a variety of fields, not only for organisations, but also municipalities, educational institutions, hospitals and other public institutions according to four main themes.

In addition, we investigate our endeavours from a global perspective.

We are pioneers of composing key tools to enhance our three main activities: "Management and Human Resource Innovation" through training & seminars, "Industry and Technology Development" through exhibitions & conferences and "Certification & Registration" through audits & investigations. We offer a wide range of rich programmes to enhance innovation in all aspects. Furthermore, we build strong networking opportunities for all, offering platforms for a professional exchange of information & technology, both domestic and foreign.
