As per my opinion, both are important for management.
Management means how to problems problem solved in front of you.
At that time both skills are required art and science.
Art skill means how to handle, manage that problem and at that time your behaviour, managing skill, communication skill.
And science skill means how it thinking about this problem and use is your knowledge.
Thank you.

It can be said that management is a combination of art and science because both the principles of art and science are present in it but we cannot call it a pure art or science. It said that it is an old art and a comparatively new science and it will continue to be an art in the future till it turns into a pure science.

Management is art but not purely science because like art management also involved personal skill, continuous practice and creative thinking but we cannot say that management is purely science because as a science it cannot based on same experiments.

Management is both an art and science. This is because one must possess a working knowledge before one can practice. The science of Management is the possession of proven facts or working knowledge and it's also the practice of the acquired or proven knowledge to solve a problem. So Management is both an art and a science.

Yes, management is a science as it contains an organised body of knowledge consisting of principles. So therefore it is also an art because it involves application of theoretical knowledge to the problems of human resources. In fact, handling people is one of the most creative arts.

Management is both in my opinion. It is a science because systematic procedures are used in managerial activities and it's an art as it involves creative as well as innovative activities in its processes.

Management is the combination of science and science because as a science management is the systematic body of knowledge, a principal based on experiment and as an art management has an existence of theoretical knowledge, personalised application. I hope these are enough to explain it.

Management is both art and science.
As an art:
Under 'art' one normally learns how of a phenomenon which requires Practical knowledge and Management is an art of getting things done through people which is manages by the manager .
An a Science:
As Science is an organised , systematic knowledge. A discipline can be called scientific if methods of inquiry are empirical . So management involves above things in it.
