The second item of my topic is devoted to the criteria necessary for professional. I should mention its three components.

- An acceptable level of competence in a specified field of knowledge. Management should develop a body of knowledge, which is becoming more and more sophisticated part of the curriculum in many academic institutions. More and more academic institutions offering business programs are devoting their primary attention to graduate education in the area of management. They make efforts to integrate faculty move closely with members of the business community so as to apply research findings to actual business problems.
- The placing of the interests of society before personal interests in carrying out functions of the profession. But this issue is much less clear-out. The difficulty is that people face uncertanty determining what is meant by the "interest of society". Sometimes allocation of significant resources to social needs is not consistent with stockholders financial interests. As a result, corporations that fail to allocate stockholder resources properly are accused of being interested only in profits.
- A code of conduct as behavior imposed upon members and usually enforced internally. It is in the third criterion of professionalism that the case for management is perhaps the weakest. The problem is that each person in business looks to his or her own personal code of ethics to determine acceptable behavior in a given situation. There is a wide variety of behavior results, since individuals view a given situation in different ways, as their personal values and principles dictate. And all the decisions managers make should answer to his own conscience and be consistent with the professional, ethical status of its members.
