Zimbabwe Institute of Management is a membership based and non-profit making management organisation founded in 1957 with the main goal of promoting and developing best practices in management and leadership.[1] The body later formalized as The Rhodesian Association of Management. In 1959, this became The Rhodesian Institute of Management and, following Zimbabwe's independence, it adopted the name Zimbabwe Institute of Management in 1980.[2]
In 1978, the Institute introduced its Management Awards, initially sponsored by Kurt Kuhn of Zisco Steel, with the first award presented to J. Fraser of Bata Shoe Company. The awards have since become an annual event, recognizing excellence in leadership across private, public, and SME sectors.
ZIM has grown into a national organization with its headquarters in Harare, a regional office in Bulawayo, and training centres in Victoria Falls, Gweru, and Mutare.[3][4] It offers executive diplomas, diplomas, and certificates in management and leadership, as well as customized corporate training.[2]
