Nature of Management
Management
as an
profession
Management
as a science
Management
as an art

Management as a science
• Science is a systematic body of knowledge which acquired on the basis
of observation and experiment and verification of this knowledge is
possible.
• For example:- A person completes his study of engineering .During the
course of his study he gets a complete theoretical knowledge of the
subject
• Characteristics/Test of Management as a science :-
• Systematic body of knowledge:- It is also a systematic body of
knowledge because it has its own theory and principles which are
developed by the management experts after years of research.
• Principles based on experiment:-Management came into existence
because of the continuous and encouraging labour of the theorists and
various people concerned.
• Universal Validity:- Principles are based on truth and they can be
applied at every time and in every situation.

Management as an Art
• To get work from other is an art.
• For example:-When a person after completing the course of
engineering starts working as an engineer in a company his work is
known as art.
• Characteristics/Test of Management as an Art:-
• Existence of theoretical knowledge/Practical knowledge:-Every art
requires practical knowledge therefore learning of theory is not
sufficient.
• It is very important to know practical application of theoretical
principles. E.g. to become a good painter, the person may not only be
knowing different colour and brushes but different designs,
dimensions, situations etc to use them appropriately.
• A manager can never be successful just by obtaining degree or
diploma in management; he must have also know how to apply
various principles in real situations by functioning in capacity of
manager.

• Personalized application/Personal Skills:-Although theoretical
base may be same for every artist, but each one has his own style and
approach towards his job.
• That is why the level of success and quality of performance differs
from one person to another. E.g. there are several qualified painters
but M.F. Hussain is recognized for his style.
• Similarly management as an art is also personalized. Every manager
has his own way of managing things based on his knowledge,
experience and personality, that is why some managers are known as
good managers (like Aditya Birla, Rahul Bajaj) whereas others as bad.
• Based on practice and Creativity:-Practice makes a man perfect.
Every artist becomes more and more proficient through constant
practice. Similarly managers learn through an art of trial and error
initially but application of management principles over the years
makes them perfect in the job of managing.

Management as both Science and Art
• A manager to be successful in his profession must acquire the
knowledge of science & the art of applying it. 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. Science teaches to ’know’ and art teaches to ’do’. E.g.
a person cannot become a good singer unless he has knowledge
about various ragas & he also applies his personal skill in the art of
singing. Same way 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.).
• The old saying that “Manager are Born” has been rejected in favor of
“Managers are Made”. It has been aptly remarked that management
is the oldest of art and youngest of science. To conclude, we can say
that science is the root and art is the fruit.

Management as a Profession
• A profession may be defined as an occupation that requires specialized
knowledge and intensive academic preparations to which entry is
regulated by a representative body.
• Characteristics/Test of Management as a profession:-
• Well defined body of knowledge:- The foremost quality of a profession
is the possession of specialized knowledge. On the basis of specialty
management can be accepted as a profession.
• Social Obligations - Profession is a source of livelihood but professionals
are primarily motivated by the desire to serve the society. Their actions
are influenced by social norms and values. Similarly a manager is
responsible not only to its owners but also to the society and therefore
he is expected to provide quality goods at reasonable prices to the
society
• Code of Conduct - Members of a profession have to abide by a code of
conduct which contains certain rules and regulations, norms of honesty,
integrity and special ethics. A code of conduct is enforced by a
representative association to ensure self discipline among its members.

Representative Association - For the regulation of profession, existance
of a representative body is a must. For example, an institute of
Charted Accountants of India establishes and administers standards of
competence for the auditors but the AIMA however does not have any
statuary powers to regulate the activities of managers.
