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.

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
