Is Management an Art or a Science?

Management is art and science both because a manager manages the organization by his own art. To use the scientific method.

Hi, friends. My point of view, management has elements of art and it has the characteristics of science also profession.

Management is both an art and a science. The above-mentioned points clearly reveal that management combines features of both sciences as well as art. It is considered as a science because it has an organized body of knowledge which contains certain universal truth. It is called an art because managing requires certain skills which are personal possessions of managers. Science provides the knowledge & art deals with the application of knowledge and skills.

A manager to be successful in his profession must acquire the knowledge of science & the art of applying it. Therefore management is a judicious blend of science as well as an art because it proves the principles and the way these principles are applied is a matter of art. Science teachers to 'know' and art teachers to 'do'.
E. G. A person cannot become a good singer unless he has knowledge about various ragas & he also applies his personal skill in the art of singing. Same way it is not sufficient for the manager to first know the principles but he must also apply them in solving various managerial problems that are why, science and art are not mutually exclusive but they are complementary to each other (like tea and biscuit, bread and butter etc.).

With my own point view, I will say that management is an art as well as science because it is behavioral science while art is the use of personal skills and techniques.

Management is sceince because it uses sceintific processs and approach in solving everyday problem. Unlike the chemistry and physics which is being held in the laboratory, managements studies human behaviour that as a social sceince and as an arts it deals with how individual does his or her own thing in hiss or her manner he or she want is different from others.

Science and Art is coherence in Management.

Management is both science as well as arts because science is systematised body of knowledge whereas art is systematised application of knowledge. We all know that to succeeding management must acquire the knowledge of science & the art of applying it.

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.

Management is both art as well as science.

Management is the art of getting things done through the people.

I think that management in a broad term is both art as well as science. Nowadays technology also dominate in all field as management key so we have to familiar with new science improvements. Only art of dealing with clients and manage employees, not management. We have to take a smart way.
