Our research is devoted to solving social problems and educational training of modern management. This research was realized in humanitarian universities (Glazachev & Perfilova, 2008; Perfilova, 2006, 2009, 2010) and in colleges (Perfilova & Alizade, 2011).

2 4070 Olga Perfi lova and Yulia Alizade / Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 116 ( 2014 ) efforts on finding algorithms of theoretical and practical improve of wildlife management process optimization in accordance with the priority areas of science and educational technology at the level of human values and interests of the individual, society and state. 1. Designing of educational attainment for the modern managers 1.1. Basic principles of the system According to leading scientists the modern manager must navigate the issues of effective management in the system "Man-Nature-Society for developing of a strategic matrix (based on the To think globally, to act locally and on the paradigm of self-worth and uniqueness of the idea of the natural world general principle), so: everybody should have the potential of the non-random vision of factors, threatening nature and society (Anisimov, 2009); in all this cases we are talking about the Man and the world around him (Knyazeva, 2009); it is proved that the ecological competence has trans-subject and meta-subject features, and becomes the criteria of professional competence of any specialist (Glazachev, 2010) Content requirements to educational Education Bachelor of Management provides an innovative complex of social programs whose the modern manager needs: a) to be able to manage at all stages of the life cycle; b) to make effective decisions on resource and administrative support; c) integrate different investment, marketing, manufacturing processes; d) monitor the activities of the company in order to increase competitiveness in the long run. The content of university education standard directed for developing of these skills of future managers (Fig.1). Figure 1. Structure of university education standard

3 Olga Perfi lova and Yulia Alizade / Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 116 ( 2014 ) Thus, the society is delegate to manager not only management powers, but also social and natural resources, optimal use of which depends on the presence of mastered ecological competencies in a manager professional asset. The range of possible education for management training and the conditions of their achievements are presented in Table 1. Table 1. Range of possible educational aims for the training of manager Educational aims Characteristic Conditions for achieving Developing ecological competence of managers algorithms of ecological education of managers will be developed taking into account the possibility of their practical application in real situations socio-economic for example, optimization of access to recreational resources key-study (for programs of bachelor's and master's degrees) will take into account technology, monitoring and management of the environment, prevent and eliminate pollution ("critical technologies") Scientific description & forecast the theory of process of wildlife management (as an element of fundamental training of bachelors and masters) will be studied at universities in the synthesis of natural and human sciences 2. Diagnostic program to determine the level of ecological competence of future managers 2.1. Description of the study situation (in real time) Over the past 10 years, the environmental focused projects became widely. Their implementation is doing in socio-natural systems of various levels. In this regard, it is interesting to study the domestic and foreign experience in managing recreation and tourism potential of natural areas. Significantly, in our view, is that a comparative analysis of the approaches to the use of the unique capabilities of the largest geographical regions - the Caucasus, the area in which the political, administrative and economic terms, today belongs to several independent states. As the object of investigation, the traditional resorts of the two neighboring states - Russia (Perfilova & Alizade, 2012) and Azerbaijan (Alizade, 2012). Learning objectives contain elements SWOT-analysis: a) identify the environmental and social risks taken into account in connection with the need to solve problems is an adequate socio-natural interactions; b) an ecological assessment of the effectiveness of the project; c) to determine the possible economic impact of environmental pollution; d) to develop an algorithm to optimize social access to recreational resources Complex study test Test Express analysis of recreational and tourism potential of natural areas at selected resort areas of Russia and Azerbaijan consists of 14 questions. In characterizing the above named facilities, resource and investment positions are basic and bear the highest scores (25 scores). The maximum number of 100 scores (Table 2). Table 2.

5 Olga Perfi lova and Yulia Alizade / Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 116 ( 2014 ) Analysis of test results In assessing the results of the training test uses aggregated scale, developed through an understanding of the social component of the category of "ecological competence» (Raven, 1987), as a criterion for evaluating the professional resources of modern society (Perfilova, 2006), especially in development of ecological competence of the specialist in professional activities (Glazachev & Perfilova, 2008). Level of competence of future managers' ecological competence can be defined as: a) high (75 points); b) medium (50-75 points); c) low (less than 50 points). In our opinion, a low level of ecological competence can also be labeled as "incompetent". To avoid accidental errors will require a re-test (on another specific example in real time). Opinions: Diagnosis of the level of ecological competence of future managers applying for a bachelor's degree must: - have a systematic character; - carried out in the real world of project activities; - include teaching (didactic) component; - identify potential professional, social and scientific activities of the student; - to promote the conversion of the existing secure availability of socio-natural reality in the course of professional work.
