Training | Courses | Seminars in Egypt

Management training in Egypt has evolved over the years in response to the country's economic and social changes. Before the 20th century, management as a formal discipline was not prominent in Egypt. Traditional businesses and governance relied on familial and hierarchical structures rather than formal management training. During the colonial period, particularly under British rule, some modern management practices were introduced to Egypt through British-run businesses and government institutions. However, these practices were often limited in scope and primarily served the interests of the colonial powers. 

After gaining independence from colonial rule, Egypt underwent a period of modernization and industrialization under President Gamal Abdel Nasser. The government invested in building infrastructure and establishing state-owned enterprises. Some management training programs were introduced, primarily focusing on technical skills required for industrial development. During the presidency of Anwar Sadat and later Hosni Mubarak (1970s-1980s), Egypt began implementing economic liberalization policies. This period saw increased participation of multinational corporations and the emergence of private sector enterprises. Management training programs expanded to include a broader range of skills, including strategic management, marketing, and finance. 

With globalization and the rise of information technology (1990s-2000s), management training in Egypt began to incorporate modern management theories and practices from Western countries. Universities and business schools started offering specialized degrees in management, and private training institutes proliferated. Between 2010s-2020s, the Egyptian government and various private organizations continued to invest in management training and development. There was an emphasis on entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership skills to support the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and drive economic diversification.
