A management device for managing a radio access network includes: a RAN slice management unit configured to manage a slice of the radio access network; a radio resource management unit configured to abstract and manage a radio resource possessed by a radio base station included in a radio network; an optical resource management unit configured to abstract and manage an optical resource possessed by an optical communication device included in an optical network; and a base station resource management unit configured to abstract and manage a base station resource possessed by a base station device included in a base station network. When a slice generation request is received from a higher-level management device, the RAN slice management unit determines an abstracted radio resource, an abstracted optical resource and an abstracted base station resource to be assigned to a slice, based on requested performance of the slice.
