Managing as Both Science and Art

Science teaches us to know while art teaches us to do. In order to be successful, managers have to know and do things effectively and efficiently. This requires a unique combination of both science and art of managing in them. It may, however. be said that the art of managing begins where the science of managing stops. Since the science of managing is imperfect. the manager must turn to artistic managerial ability to perform a job satisfactorily.
