If a person becomes a manager even without formal management degree what becomes clear?

Correct answer: Entry into management is not completely restricted

The direct answer is A: entry into management is not completely restricted. A profession usually has specialised knowledge, formal training, professional associations, ethical rules and controlled entry through compulsory qualifications. Management has many of these features, but a formal management degree is not compulsory for every managerial post. A person may become a manager through experience, ability, internal promotion or other qualifications. Thus management is regarded as a developing or emerging profession rather than a fully established profession. Option A is correct because it identifies the absence of completely restricted entry. Option B is wrong: management has a large body of knowledge. Option C is wrong: training remains very useful even when it is not compulsory. Option D is wrong: ethics are encouraged, not prohibited. Exam cue: remember that management has many professional features, but entry is not fully restricted.
