a General Manager in a MultiNational Company. After a long
time in a re-union function of the school, they met each other.
Rashmi said that they were all professionals now.
Garima told Rashmi that she can say this about Monika and
herself, but not about her since Manager is not considered a full
fledged professional.
Why did Garima say that she was not a professional? State any
three points in support of your answer.
Marking-scheme solution
Garima said that she is not a professional as management is not
considered as a full fledged profession because of the following
reasons:
(i)
Restricted Entry: There is no restriction on anyone being
designated or appointed as Manager in any business enterprise. Any
one can be called a manager irrespective of educational
qualifications possessed as compared to other professions like a
doctor, a lawyer etc.
(ii)
Professional Association: There are several associations of
practicing managers in India like AIMA
(All India Management Association) but there is no compulsion for managers to be members
of such associations nor does it have any statutory backing unlike
other professions.
(iii)
Ethical code of conduct: All professionals are bound by a code
of conduct which guides the behaviour of its members, which is not
followed by manager though AIMA has laid down a code of conduct
to regulate the activities of their members.
(iv)
Service Motive: The basic motive of a profession is to serve
their clients interests by rendering dedicated and committed service
whereas the basic purpose of management is to help the organization
to achieve its stated goal which is profit maximisation.
