According to me, management is both an art and science. It is an art, because it is a very good skill to be learnt and an important subject to be studied by every individual.

Hi.
As we understand that management is a task of coordinating other peoples efforts in order to achieve stated objectives then, on my point of view management is both a science and an art because it involves both systematic body of knowledge and the practical body of knowledge which enables the organization to achieve its stated objectives.

Management is not a fully flourished art instead its a growing one and its not a complete science as different people have different abilities and they cannot be tested in a lab.

Management is gathering the resources to get the defined goal in a fixed time frame. Science in which we must have knowledge about all these resources but now important is an art how to utilize these resources in various tasks. Resources may be any kind human, equipment, etc. I think art is little more important than science because due to lack of any resource an art how to replace that resources is necessary.

Hello all. My view is that management is applicable in both situations. As an art, the manager can only supervise the employees in different capacity but as a science the manager has to practice the entire management skill by him/herself.
Therefore it fits in both cases. Thank you.

In my opinion, management is a unique blend of both art and science. On the science side, there are concrete principles, theories, and data-driven approaches that guide decision-making and problem-solving. It's about using facts and figures to optimize processes.
On the other hand, there's an art to management that involves the human element. Inspiring and motivating your team, making judgment calls in complex situations, and adapting to different personalities all require a certain finesse that can't always be quantified.

Management is an amalgam of science and art but this combination cannot be in equal proportion. Management is regarded as an applied science. As an applied scientist, a manager possesses the skill to use his knowledge into practice in the working of an org. Just as a doctor has to translate his knowledge into curing the patients.

Yes, it is an art because of the practical skills gained in it and also theoretic views.
