Compound noun - "Management Director" or "Managing Director<"
Dear,
Many people told me to use Management Director, but I also saw the use of Managing Director in some visit-cards. So, which one is correct? I don't know when should we use noun-noun compound noun, when should we use Ving-noun compound noun.
