It may not be proper to term it as pure science or pure art. In fact, it is a science as well as an art because science and art are both complementary to each other. As cossa has said, "science requires art, art requires science, each being complementary to each other". It may be concluded that there is no hard and fast line between art and science of management. The former(science) will have to solve problems and establish principles which might be applied with benefit to the latter(art). The present ratio is about 90% art and 10% science. Though a very great deal of developments are presently increasing that proportion which can properly be called science. I am willing to venture a guess that by the end of another generation the ratio will be 80% art and perhaps 20% science. ". | Rate this: +2...

...Q. Is management an art, or a science or both? Can managers be developed? What are some of the characteristics of successful managers? In order to be able discuss whether management is an art or a science we need to define what ‘management’, ‘art’ and ‘science’ are. Management is a set of activities (including planning and decision making, organizing, leading, and controlling) directed at an organization's resources (human, financial, physical, and information) with the aim of achieving organizational goals in an efficient and effective manner. In general an art defines as "skill in conducting any human activity" and science as "any skill or technique that reflects a precise application of facts or a principle.” (studymode.com, 2011). There are lots of views rising whether management is an art or a science or both. It can say that it is the oldest of arts and youngest of science. To support this argument we need to understand these two aspects of management. Management as an Art: Art refers to the way of doing specific things; it indicates how an object can be achieved. In the words of George R. Terry, "Art is bringing about of a desired result through the application of skill." In this sense, management is certainly an art as a manager uses his skill, knowledge and experience in solving various problems; both complicated and non-complicated that arises in the working of his enterprise successful. Management as a Science: Science may be described as a systematized body...

They’re responsibilities on the production line and packaging area is repetitive, and Art constantly reminds them on the rules and procedures. The rules and procedures are already posted and understood, so a daily reminder is something that adds to their perceived “annoyance” on the job. They respect Art, but they don’t voice their concerns. Members of Shift 2 sometimes find difficultly in their tasks, as they’re involved in the complex computer programs that run the operation. The workers have complained on numerous occasions to the supervisor, Tom, and the upper management, however, nothing has occurred after the fact that would address the issues. Members of Shift 3 are supervised by Carol, and their work seems very efficient. They are satisfied, and they achieve their tasks with the help of Carol.

...system data and information can then be extracted from the database. Objectives The Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art is in desperate need of a newly updated database that will help them with maintaining proper records of all the art pieces within the museum. This new database will be used to track all the art pieces, new as well as existing along with their current locations. Along with this information, the database will also store the information on each artist, which includes: telephone number, address, art pieces included, as well as the client information of those that are interested or have purchased art pieces. The database will also store the quantity of art pieces that are in the museum along with the art pieces that have been sold and the price of each piece. This database will need to be maintained on a daily basis, for any changes that might occur. It is important that the museum staff is able to give real time data to anyone that asks. For example, if an art piece is for sale. The staff needs to know if that art piece is available or not, and if it is then they will be able to proceed with the purchase. It is mandatory that this data is easy to find and has to be updated with any changes. Problems and Constraints The current database system that the Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art is using is inadequate and poses several issues that need to be rectified with the new database system. One of the issues with the current database system is that users are...

...ESSAY title: “What is Management: is it an Art or a Science?” Number of words: 1860 What is Management? Is it an Art or a Science? The objective of this essay is to settle the old argument that whether management is an art or a science. It aims to give a deeper and brief view about the topic of ‘Management’ and the point to which management fulfills the criteria for being a science as well as an art have been outlined. Management characteristics have been stated and discussed in relation to the characteristics of science as well as art by use of classical theories and principles which were derived by experts who are related with the study of management. It is difficult to define the word management since neither accurate nor approved definition is found yet. However, it has a traditional definition which states that management is “the art of getting things done through people” (Mary Parker Follet, 1868-1933). Still, this definition does not perfectly describe management therefore the meaning cannot be relied on; this is because the definition views the term management as an “art” while management may be both either a science or an art. Secondly, the definition does not consider the functions of management which were introduced in a new definition by Henry Fayol defining management as “to manage is to forecast and to plan, to organize, to command, and to coordinate and control”(Fayol, 1916). Every firm exists with some objectives or goals; in order to achieve these objectives...

...accomplishing a goal. Resourcing encompasses the deployment and manipulation of human resources, financial resources, technological resources and natural resources. -Wikipedia According to Harold Koontz, "Management is the art of getting things done through and with people in formally organised groups." Harold Koontz gave this definition of management in his book "The Management Theory Jungle". Management involves the activities to control and monitor the people in an organization to achieve the desired goals of the organization. The roles of management include planning, organizing, staffing, directing and monitoring the employees. A manager directs the people to perform the tasks which ultimately result in gaining the goals of the company. Management also deals with the allocation, planning, and manipulation of the resources available to the organization. In the recent years the concept of management has changed because of the decentralization in the organizations. Today, management facilitate the activities of the workers instead of controlling them. There is no universally accepted definition for management, therefore it is difficult to define what management is. The term Management is very broad in nature. A simple traditional definition of management is "art of getting things done by others". This definition brings in two elements namely accomplishment of goals and objectives, and direction of group activities towards the desired goal. The weaknesses of this definition is...

Management is Combination of Art and Science Management knowledge exhibits characteristics of both art and science, the two not mutually exclusive but supplementary. Every discipline of art is always backed by science which is basic knowledge of that art. Similarly, every discipline of science is complete only when it is used in practice for solving various kinds of problems faced by human beings in an organisation or in other fields of social life which is more related to an art. Art basically deals with an application of knowledge personal skill and know-how in a specific situation for efficiently achieving a given objective. It is concerned with the best way of doing things and is consequently, personalised in nature. During the primitive stages of development of management knowledge, it was considered as an art. There was a jungle of managerial knowledge. It was not codified and systemised. People used it to get things done by others, in their own way giving an impression that whosoever uses it, knows the art of using it. This kind of loose and inadequate understanding of management supported the view that it was an art. Management as a Science Science means a systematic body of knowledge pertaining to a specific field of study. It contains...
