MANAGEMENT AS AN ART

• Art is the skillful and personal application of existing knowledge to achieve desired result.

• The basic features of an art are as follows:– Existence of theoretical knowledge;– Personalized application and creativity;– Based on continous practice.

CREATIVITY

• Every artist has an element of creativity that lets him produce something that has never existed before.

• Management is also creative in nature because it combines the concept of intelligence and imagination.

Management is both an art and a science:

• It is considered as a science because it has an organized body of knowledge which contains certain universal truth. 

Management is not an exact science

• Management is a social/behavior/ flexible

science because:– It detals with human beings and it is very

difficult to predict their behavior accurately;

• Science teaches to ’know’ and art teaches to ’do’. It is not sufficient for manager to first know the principles but he must also apply them in solwing various managerial problems that is why, science and art are not mutually exclusive but they are complementary to each other.

• 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. 

EXPERIMENTATION AND OBSERVATION

• Scientific principles are based on research, experimentation and logic.

• Management principles have been developed through experiments and practical experiences.

TEST OF VALIDITY OF PREDICTABILITY

• They stand the test of time – means it can be tested at any time or any no. Of time.

• Management principle can be tested for their validity with regards to clarity of thought and direction.

CONCLUSION

• Old saying that “ Manager are born” has been rejected in the favor of “ Managers are made”.

• Science and art not mutually exclusive but they are complementary to each other.

• Management is the oldest of art and youngest of science.

• Management as science is the “ Root” and Management as art is the “ Fruit”.
