One of the debateable issue arise is whether Management is a Profession or it is separate set of skills that embodies various factors and capabilities. It is answered by many writers that although management (managers, leaders etc) and professionals (doctors, lawyers, etc) has same social status but they are different in terms of their working status. On the basic of their studies and practices both are different from each other i.e. in order to become professional there are separate set of knowledge that are required to be acquired and passed through. On the other hand, although there is business education for management that only develops and polishes skills and capabilities of business management. There are some code of conduct and code of ethics for professionals that are required to be followed while discharging their duties. Professionals certify some facts and figures on the basis of acquired knowledge and experience. Management manages business affairs or they are involved in integration of various sets or various sections of business operations.
