What will a professional manager do between profit and service motive?

Correct answer: Will balance both

The governing concept is that management has multiple objectives and professional responsibility requires a balance between organisational profitability and service to stakeholders. Profit is needed for survival, growth, wages, investment and continuity, but it should not be earned through exploitation, deception or disregard for customers and society. A professional manager therefore seeks sustainable profit while maintaining quality, fairness and stakeholder trust. Option A is correct because it includes both economic and social considerations. Options B, C and D incorrectly reduce management to personal gain or reject service and customer interest, which conflicts with ethical professional conduct.
