What is management ?

Management : Art or Science ?

Management is everywhere - office, hospital, school,Finance, trust etc., James A. F. says Management is

the process of Planning, Organizing Leading andControlling efforts of organization members and ofusing all other organizational resources (human,financial, physical, and information) to achieve pre-determined Organizational goals.

It is objective-oriented. We always have a doubtwhether it is an art or science.

Management as a philosophy

It is the art of making people more effective than they wouldhave been without you.

Management is taking inputs, transforming them into output-either a good or service; the effectiveness of this transforming

the input into output depends on the Management - especiallywhen the resources are scarce; It is a group activity; motivatingothers and getting the things done within the stipulated time,

without compromising on the quality of the result; it gives shapeand color to the great ideas of the manager; Management

involves dealing with people who have different understanding,sensitivity, knowledge, capability, responsibility, maturity.

Management is an art is not a science because inmanagement your task is to betterly managehuman resources and organizational matters in

your circle of command & control. in science you do not do this job. if you see

science definition is entirely different frommanagement and i am studying this topic formore accurate answer of this question.

management is art of implementing.

Management as a science

The science is in how you do that. Science is a collection of systematic knowledge, collection of

truths and Inferences after continuous study and experiments.The Relationship between Variables and Limits are defined andthe Fundamental Principles discovered.

Science has got three specific characters :1. It is a systematic and organized knowledge and based onscientific methods of observation.2. Inferences are arrived after continuous observation and

experiments;3. It has logical principles which are well defined and areUniversally applicable without any limitations.

It is science because your performance ismeasured and results are visible. Forperformance there would be some system in

vogue on the basis of which your Organizationis assessed and graded. so these all are scientificjobs that could be measured in quantitive

formats. management is science of planning.

Management as a science

management is a science, because there existsome scientific principles and rules (such asTaylor's scientific management theories and

Weber's administration of social and economicorganization) that can be applied for improvingthe productivity and/or efficiency of

organizations, profit or nonprofit, private orpublic (Taylor, 1911; Weber, 1947).

Management as an art

A considerable group of people view management as an art. Thereasons are not only because no management theory or approachcan guarantee successful practical action of a social or economicorganization in practice, but also because these people haveadvocated or overemphasized personal intuition and other

personal irrational factors such as emotion and hunches indecision-making and management. In reality, managementheroes, like Microsoft's William Gates and GE's Jack Welch andtheir top-down managerial strategy have enhanced this idea(Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995). Both views of management, as a

science or as an art, can provide ample evidence to support theirviewpoints, and they all seem correct and reasonable from theirperspective. However, some people also think management isneither a science nor an art, but a political game. The criterion isin the mind of speakers.

Management is more an art than

science

Management is more an art than science becausethe parameters of uncertainty is more. Thefactors to be considered in each situation is

unique. A methodology that works perfectly inone place can be a disaster in another.

Management is both an art and

science

Management is both an art and science. Almost anyone can learnhow to be a manager but the art of it is to become a greatmanager. Anyone can see the results of a bad manager easyenough but what happens when you have a good manager in

circumstances that heavily tax his ability to manage? Whathappens when the good manager under too much stress for toolong has a bad day? The answer may be that he becomes a badmanager. What happens to a great manager when he faceshardships that would crush most managers? He innovates he

takes the weaknesses of his situation and tries to make themstrengths. In the hardest times is when you find the greatestmanagers and these managers bring this science to an art form
