Is Management an Art or a Science?

Hi friends,

What I feel management is both art as well as a science. Now how? See. It is a science because just like science is systematised body of knowledge which explains various universal truths in which knowledge is acquired on the basis of complete observations and experiments. Similarly management is also a systematised body of knowledge as it has its own theory and principles which are developed by management experts after years of research.

On other hand, Management is also an art. Now you should first of all know what is an art? Art means applying your existing knowledge skillfully practically in real life. And management is also an art as in the form of best work technique, helps the managers to face every type of situation successfully.

It is, therefore, we say that management is an amalgam of science and an art.

I should say that we should not ignore either science or art. According to me management is both science and an art. It is a science because it is the systematic body of knowledge and an art because it it involves putting of knowledge into practice.

Management is a soft science which consists of principles and theories proved out by experiments. For instance if every employees and employers work with full hearted then the business will turn out to be successful but in some case science may not work as humans are unpredictable. Science aims to give answers by predicting taking into account the work to be performed.

Management is also an art as it implies putting of knowledge into practice. Art aims to go on.

Continuing with the knowledge provided by science.

Management is both an art and science in my side. As a science it seeks to know variables that affects performance and as an art it uses function of coordinating to determine performance of workers.

From the view of me, management is an art, science and profession because from the side of art it is skill, learn on the basis of practical knowledge, creativity, new ideas, perfection in effective manners. From the side of science, it is on the basis of experimentation, daily practices, observation. And profession means having special knowledge, formal education, code of conduct. So, management is a profession.

Hi every one.

I think management is both an art or a science because, its considered as a science because it has an organized body of knowledge which certain universal truth. Its called an art because managing require certain skills which are personal possession of managers.

Management is combination of both art and science. Science provide knowledge and management provide application of knowledge and skills. Like design a car is science but how to drive it is art. If you want to be a good organiser and manager then you have to know about both science and art. Management requires both skills and knowledge.

Management is a science of handling the people of different psychology, where you not only have to get the work done by the subordinate bur also respecting each individual having unique capability to perform certain duties in the own way. This gives the management the Art label, since different individual will do the same work in different ways. Then the most suitable process can be applied to achieve the maximum productivity. I see management as managing the resources-not only people but also other resources in the business. Hence it is a beautiful combination of Science as well as an art.

Management is efficiently and effectively mixture of both art and science. Management as science: is the wise application of theories and principles, while art is the active activity of managing.

In my opinion it is both a science as well as an art. Managing like any other discipline is an art because it has the ability to do things in the light of reality of the situation. Management work efficiently by using organized knowledge about management.

These knowledge constitutes a science. Management as a practice is therefore an art while the organized knowledge underline practice is a science.
