Answer to the ques. No. 1

I agree with the statement “The purpose of a management course is to teach students about
management, not to teach them to be managers” made by the professor.

Management is a course which cover a lot of ground, and being a manager is a part of it. For being a
successful manager, you need to know the ins and out of management. Management like any other
subject, there are more to it than just what or how. It has its span or coverage. When comes to order it
has its hight, layers or hierarchy. For perspective there is depth. Management also has its intensity,
volition and ups and downs. These detailed and complicated parts help to create a harmonious
management environment. This course by teaching these traits creates a great manager who can
manage anything swiftly.
