"Management is considered as a full-fledged profession." Do you agree with this statement? Give reasons to support your answer.

No. I do not agree with this statement because today management is not a full-fledged profession but it is on the path of becoming a profession. Very soon it will be included in the list of profession. To prove this we can compare features of profession with the features of management:

(i) Well-defined body of knowledge (ii)Restricted entry

(iii) Service motive (iv) Existence of ethical codes

(v) Presence of professional associations.
