The knowledge of the areas of law, economy, politics, philosophy, military history, military doctrine, strategy, management, operative skills, tactics and other scientific disciplines is necessary for the efficiency of managers on tactical, operative and strategic level. Within this paper, specific scientific areas will be determined, and to a certain degree the specific scientific contents within each scientific area that are necessary for an efficient function of managers in the security sector. There will also be a specific empiric research, through a questioner designed for this purpose. Students from the second cycle of studies, Specialization for command and staff duties at the Military Academy “General Mihailo Apostolski” in Skopje will be the participants in the study. The group of respondents consists of persons included in the field of defense in all three levels of management, tactical, operative and strategic. 2 Given that these people have relevant experience in management, the obtained results will clearly determine their real need for knowledge from different scientific disciplines in the course of work, and the same will confirm or reject the hypothesis from the first part of the paper
