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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi all,
In my view I would say management is both an art and a science.
Its an art because, one's skill in the management of a firm is been shown in his/her management of the business through the use of planning, controlling, directing and coordinating whiles is a science because its faster and easier since everything is now technologically accessed, one can be said to have a good management.

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.

Hi,
Management is a science as in. All the managerial knowledge and practices are developed through various observations and experiments which are researched and experiment based.
But, it is an art also because management performs non programmed and non routine work using creativity and innovations. And, according to Mary Parker "Management is an art of getting things done through others".

Management is an art as well as science. The scientific nature of management became popular in the 20th century were some of the management decision called for study or further scientific experimentation. It is an art because no matter how much scientific knowledge the manager has he/she sometimes has to use intuition and experience to make a decision or lead the organization.

In my point of view, management is art as well as science, because of brain trance the art and science are time management. What is management? management is multipurpose origin how to manage the business, manager, and worker. In other words, we can say that it is the collection of people which make a plan to focus the goal. So clearly management is art as well as science.
