Is management a Profession?
115509
The American Heritage Dictionary defines profession as:  An occupation, such as law, medicine, or engineering, that requires considerable training and specialized study. While many managers have undertaken training and specialised courses such as an MBA, many managers don't have such qualifications having obtained their education in the "School of hard knocks".\n\nWikipedia states that professions normally have professional associations, ethics and a process of licensing or certification. Management doesn't have any of these. The American Heritage Dictionary states that profession can also mean "the body of qualified persons in an occupation or field" such as the medical profession of California or the legal profession in the UK.\n\nThe American Heritage Dictionary also defines profession as an occupation or career. It is in that sense alone that management can be said to be a profession.

yes, some Management programs require GMAT, and they might have something different for lawers and doctors. \n\nIf you want to find a PhD w/o a standardized test, good luck. No pain, no gain. While some un-accredited or foreign university might do that, do not expect any star jobs with their diploma.

Efforts and positive work ethic don't go unnoticed.  Managers come from two different schools of thought though.  It's either positive-reinforcement or negative-reinforcement.  Working for the latter tends to suck but they drive results just the same.  At the end of the day if you're doing a good job for either one they'll take care of you.
