When COORDINATING his/her work force (employees) , he/she needs that human relation skills, to be able to achieve the planned goals and objectives, and this has to do with art. Conducting a feasibility study or market research need science technique and the ability to implement and sustained this result, the management needs art techniques. | Rate this: +0 -0 | Nagaraju said: (Sat, Nov 22, 2014 10:55:57 PM) | | | | I think management has elements of both art and science. It may not be proper to term it as pure science or pure art. In fact, it is a science as well as an art because science and art are both complementary to each other. As cossa has said, "science requires art, art requires science, each being complementary to each other". It may be concluded that there is no hard and fast line between art and science of management. The former(science) will have to solve problems and establish principles which might be applied with benefit to the latter(art). The present ratio is about 90% art and 10% science. Though a very great deal of developments are presently increasing that proportion...

...Market Based Management® Philosophy and Principles Market Based Management® is a value system and framework for action that encourages employees to think and act like principled entrepreneurs. (The Principled Entrepreneur, 2007) The MBM philosophy was (and continues to be) developed by Charles Koch, chairman and CEO of Koch Industries. It is used by all Koch companies such as STAINMASTER® carpet, LYCRA® spandex, Quilted Northern® tissue, and Dixie® cups. Charles Koch credits the success of Koch Industries, one of the world’s largest privately held companies, to the application of this unique way of doing business. (Koch C. , 2007) MBM is a large set of ever-evolving “mental models” that are organized by, and interpreted through, a framework of five interdependent and mutually reinforcing dimensions: vision, virtue and talents, knowledge processes, decision rights and incentives. The MBM Guiding Principles, which are a model within the virtue and talents dimension, form the MBM culture. (Tapscott, 2007) This material is used by leaders and employees of Koch companies to get results. Market Based Management® (MBM) is rooted in the Science of Human Action (Mises, 1949), and is defined by five dimensions: * Vision – determining where and how the organization can create the greatest long –term value * Virtue and Talents – helping ensure that people with the right values, skills and capabilities are hired, retained and developed * Knowledge Processes – creating, acquiring...

...produced a CD on Army Knowledge Management. It was intended as an educational piece and was widely distributed among the troops. The opening screen was blank, and then slowly the following sequence appeared: Imagine… Someone has a piece of data or information so critical that, if shared with the right people at the right time… It could save a lot of time. It could save a lot of resources. It could save a life… Your buddy’s life. Your life… Now imagine… you’re the person with that information The Army has clearly been paying attention to knowledge management (KM) for some time, having been first off the starting block with its all-weather portal, Army Knowledge Online (AKO)—which has now become the model for the Department of Defense enterprise portal, Defense Knowledge Online (DKO). The Army launched its Army Knowledge Management (AKM) strategy in 2001 and has been moving on many fronts in the knowledge management field. The Army defines Knowledge Management simply by stating: Knowledge management is a discipline that promotes an integrated approach to identifying, retrieving, evaluating, and sharing an enterprise’s tacit and explicit knowledge assets to meet mission objectives. The first thrust of AKM was framed in a series of five goals that defined a very high-level strategy. That was followed by a strong push for the establishment of communities of practice, the promotion of knowledge management education, and then naming a chief knowledge officer (CKO). ...

Our analysis of the evolution of thinking and practice among leading IT project managers across four countries elicits nine principles and four personal qualities that constitute the core of a mindset that facilitates rethinking the practice of IT project management. We compare this with the Rethinking Project Management research agenda [Winter M, Smith C, Morris P, Cicmil S. Directions for future research in Project management: the main findings of a UK government-funded research network. Int J Project Manage 2006;24(8):638-649.]. Our contribution is to (1) validate the directions defined in that agenda; (2) identify elements not incorporated in it and (3) provide examples that crystallise the agenda for the domain of IT project management.

BAC/12/71131 QUESTION: Management can be thought of as multi-dimensional in nature. It can be defined as a process, as discipline, people and career. Clearly distinguish between managerial functions and managerial roles. How are they related? Introduction: The word’’ manage’’ comes from the Italian maneggiare {to handle especially tools}, which derives from Latin word manus{hand}.The French word mesnagement[later management]. It is very difficult to define the term management but different scholars tried to define management as follows; According to Harold koontz; Management is the art of getting things done through others and with formally organized groups. According to Bovee; Management is the process of achieving organizational goals through planning, organizing, leading and controlling the human physical financial and information resources of an organization in an effective and efficient manner. According to Mary Partner; Management is the art of getting things done through people. Generally; Definition of Management can be explained in multi-dimensional process because...

...ESSAY title: “What is Management: is it an Art or a Science?” Number of words: 1860 What is Management? Is it an Art or a Science? The objective of this essay is to settle the old argument that whether management is an art or a science. It aims to give a deeper and brief view about the topic of ‘Management’ and the point to which management fulfills the criteria for being a science as well as an art have been outlined. Management characteristics have been stated and discussed in relation to the characteristics of science as well as art by use of classical theories and principles which were derived by experts who are related with the study of management. It is difficult to define the word management since neither accurate nor approved definition is found yet. However, it has a traditional definition which states that management is “the art of getting things done through people” (Mary Parker Follet, 1868-1933). Still, this definition does not perfectly describe management therefore the meaning cannot be relied on; this is because the definition views the term management as an “art” while management may be both either a science or an art. Secondly, the definition does not consider the functions of management which were introduced in a new definition by Henry Fayol defining management as “to manage is to forecast and to plan, to organize, to command, and to coordinate and control”(Fayol, 1916). Every firm exists with some objectives or goals; in order to achieve these objectives...

...Does my integrated service demonstrate any of the principles of a learning organisation? Chapter 1: Introduction The aim of the study is to discover if the integrated service I work for demonstrates the principles, if any, of a learning organisation. I will begin this with a literature review and identify those key elements, which many key thinkers and contributors have written about, that distinguish a learning organisation. The literature review will also help me understand and develop my knowledge on what a learning organisation is, as at this point I have very little understanding of the concept of what a learning organisation is or consists of. I will seek to find out what the characteristics and principles are of a learning organisation and assess through my own thought process and reflection whether I feel the concept of a learning organisation is viable and can be implemented in my place of work. Furthermore, during this study I will collate my evidence in terms to inform my research by asking colleagues I work with to complete a questionnaire relevant to the principles and characteristics of a learning organisation. I will assess and critically analyse this feedback and provide valid evidence to identify whether individuals feel the work in learning culture based on the principles and characteristics discovered in the literature review. Finally, I will reflect and conclude my findings based on both the literature review and method of research and assess how this...
