Who can be a good Business Manager?

The other day i was discussing with the CEO of an Information Technology Company of the size 120 people, pre-dominantly providing services in software testing. The CEO's concern was that to expand his business he needed to have good Business Managers. So, the question how to get a good Business Manager and what should one look at in this person was the point of discussion. After some discussions we came to the conclusion that a Business Manager should definitely have good problem solving abilities, plus knowledge and expertise in the functional areas of business like- production, marketing, finance, accounting, human resources, information management, research, and development. Like to hear from you if there are some other straits that we missed out in the Business Manager...

Apart from what you have mentioned about a good Business Manager I think that a good Business Manager must have deep understanding of the current business happenings in the domestic as well as in the international market and on personal side one should have traits like ability to adapt quickly to the changing business requirements, team skills, learning attitude, leadership qualities, risk taker and passionate for his work.
