Why can management be called an emerging profession?

Correct answer: Because many features of profession are developing in it

The direct answer is A: many features of a profession are developing in management. A profession normally depends on specialised knowledge, education, training, ethical standards, professional associations and a service motive. Management has developed courses, textbooks, training programmes, professional bodies and ethical expectations. However, a management degree is not compulsory for every manager, and entry is not completely restricted. Therefore management has several professional qualities but does not satisfy every condition of a full profession. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because management has considerable knowledge. Option C is wrong because managers have duties towards organisations, employees, customers and society. Option D is wrong because management education exists and is expanding. The memory point is: “many features, not all conditions” explains why management is called an emerging profession.
