This study endeavored to assess the intended outcome of MDP conducted at Ready-made Garments (RMG) industries located inside the export processing zone of Chattogram, Bangladesh. The opinions of 56 senior line managers of five reputed RMGs were collected through a questionnaire survey. The findings of the study were shared with a six-member expert panel for validation of the responses. Results of the first study projects the absolute success of MDP in the area of organizational development. However, the RMG industries should make improvement in the area of management skill development particularly developing leadership skills. Management development is still a less utilized concept in most of the RMGs of Bangladesh.
