For the study the final sample size of 105 respondents was taken which included the management people, professors and students of B-schools, businessman & service class people who have an idea of what management is all about. To test the hypothesis, frequency test and chi-square test was used for the analysis. The purpose of this study was to reveal whether management can be taught to an individual or it is a thing which an individual learns himself through experience and is the most important element required for a manager. The results revealed that there was no significant association between the demographic profile of the respondents and the main element of management, skills required for the manager & the frequencies and the perception of an individual towards the thought whether management could be taught or not ?
