In my view, that management is an art as well as a science because both are complimentary and mutually supportive. It is a science because it has an organized body of knowledge which contains certain universal truth. It is also an art because it requires certain skills which are the personal qualities possessed the manager.

For me, management is both science and arts.

The good management is a balance of both science and art. Science establishes general principles that guide organizations, while the art of human skill puts those principles to their best use.

Management is both science and art. It is science because management involved knowledge. We all know that knowledge is obtained from science. It is art because management is applying.

According to me, management cannot be said as complete science but it is a complete art because management includes human resources and therefore management cannot be said as complete science but it is a complete art because it has a systematized body of knowledge and it requires special skill, creativity, and practice to get perfection.
