3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Management is not an exact science
• Management is a social/behavoir/
flexible science because:
– It detals with human beings and it is very
difficult to predict their behavoir accurately;
– The ories and principles may produce
different results at different situations and
time.
7. • 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 solving
various managerial problems that is
why, science and art are not mutually
exclusive but they are complementary
to each other (like tea and biscuit,
bread and butter etc).
8. • 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.
9. EXPERIMENTATION AND OBSERVATION
• Scientific principles
are based on
research,
experimentation and
logic.
• Management
principles have been
developed through
experiments and
practical experiences.
10. 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.
11. 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”.
