It is easy to see that there is both science and art in management. There is knowledge about management and it should be obtained and digested in order to achieve highest competency in management. Likewise there is skillful application of d knowledge of management and excellent accomplishment in this area.
In this era of great technological advances, it is easy to emphasize on d importance of science in management. So I believe that management is an art and also a science.

With in my judgment Art & Science are the two sides of the Management coin. Like the actual sense is neither Science nor Art but requires both to be successful, that is it isn't really pure art because it uses scientific method, its more like the Art of Management begins where the Scientific Management stops.

Management is art and science both because whatever we plan, organize, direct, control over the different situations in the life.
Management tells us that how much efficiency can be achieved by doing a particular act.
It is also provide the capability of taking decision towards the goals of the life as well.

Its of great pleasure to share the views well in my perspective management is an art because managers has to design the strategies basing on their personal skills and knowledge that they apply in management though it is strengthened by science through studying, coordinating and understanding the nature of human behaviors within the organization thus leading to efficiency in management making it both arts and science.

Management in an art and a know-how. It consists in doing things in light of a situation.
It is both science and art. Management knowledge, which comprises theories, principles, studies, is a science. Management practice is an art. They improve each other, they're complementary.
Management knowledge can result 'empty' and inexact, because summarizes generally situations studied in the past, giving the task to managers to fill the so many variables.

Hi,
I feel Management is a good combo of Art and Science; as part of Management one need to deal to Humans and every individual is so unique in him/herself that to manage them one need to be able to have an emotional cord with others and also need to be work within certain boundaries of process and procedures.

Hi, every one according to me management is a science because Management is systemized body of knowledge that explains certain general truths or the operation of general laws. It is based on cause and effect relationship based on principle.

With my own point view, I will say that management is an art as well as science because it is behavioral science while art is the use of personal skills and techniques.
