 Management as science showcases the systematic approach on management, like

imperfect beings, we learn daily, we make mistakes, and through those mistakes we

learn. Management as a science is an idealistic reckon to how management should

operate, while management as an art could be a far more realistic see to how we must

always operate a company. Can we are saying that management is either science or

art? I feel that management is both science and art, although management as a science

is an idealistic view, it tends to guide us on where the organization should move towards,

while management as an art shows us the way to get there. The knowledge provided by

science can only be put into application is through the assistance of arts, on how we can

guide the staff towards the goal we desire. Management as a science or as an art could

never stand alone, management is sort of coin it's two sides, but it could never be

complete without the opposite. That's why management is both an art and science.
