Management has a wider scope about our daily life.
Based on the nature of management, there is a debatable issue whether management is considered an
art or science. Since the concept of management is universal and very old, its dynamins mams scope
complement it being both a Science and an Art.
Science is defined by Merriam-Webster as “knowledge about or study of the natural world based on
facts learned through experiments and observation” while Arts is “skill acquired by experience,
study, or observation.”
Management is both science and art. It is considered as a Science because managers need facts and
information based on gathered data to come up with a sound solution. It is considered art because
managers need specific skills which are innate in a manager. Science deals with knowledge while art
deals with the application of the knowledge through the use of skills.
Through there has no perfect formula to being a successful manager, still one must acquire the
knowledge of science and the art of applying it in running an organization.
period is a part of the development and evolution of the other. The specific phase of management
that we will discuss here are just highlights of events during various periods. Dates given will just
serve as a guide, because there are no specific dates when one study or approach and ended.
Organization and Management have existed over thousands of years ago. Earliest forms of
civilization during ancient times were able to build structures, shelters, bridges and tools by a group
of people out of available resources and led by good management.
1. Scientific Management
Scientific Management is defined as the use of scientific method to determine the “one best way” for
a job to be done. The most significant contributor in this field was Frederick W. Taylor (1856-1915),
who is known as the “Father of Scientific Management.” Using his principles of scientific
management, Taylor was able to define the “one best way” for doing each job. He made a scientific
study of workers, machines, and the workplace by using the method of standardization of parts,
uniformity of structure and the assembly line.
The Gilbreth’s Frank (1868-1924) and Lillian (1878-1972) one of the great husband and wife tandem
of science and engineering, were inspired by Taylor’s work and proceeded to study and develop their
methods of scientific management. They devised a classification scheme to label 17 basic hand
motions called THERBLIGS (derived from Gilbreth spelled backward) to eliminate wasteful
motions, thereby increasing productivity.
One of the most famous personalities during this era was Henri Fayol (1841-1925).
Fayol emphasized how different a manger’s role was from other usual business functions. He stated
the 14 principles of management as follows:
To date, General Administrative Theory is still being used by a lot of big organization as the basis
for running their respective companies and in employing talented professionals. It is also a good
mechanism for running the business effectively and efficiently.
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory helped managers to understand, visualize and create employee
motivation.
Physiological needs. This pertains to all physical needs necessary for the maintenance of human
well-being, such as food, clothing and shelter.
Safety needs. These requirements include the need for basic security, stability, and protection.
Once these needs are satisfied, they can accomplish more.
Belonging and love need. These needs follow after the physical needs have been satisfied. The
need for friendship, family, belongingness became a primary motivator.
Esteem needs. Self-esteem, confidence, achievement, achievement, respect, fame and glory.
Self- actualization needs. After all the needs have been satisfied, an individual feels the need of
finding himself.
According to the principles of Management Notes, Management Science Theory is known as the
qualitative approach to management. This uses qualitative techniques in decision making. This
approach includes applications od statistics, optimization models, information models and computer
simulations. The Management Science theory originated during World War II as mathematical, and
statistical solutions to military problems were developed for wartime use.
Management Science Theory contributes to managerial decision making, particularly in planning and
controlling.
There are two basic types of systems, the OPEN, and CLOSED. A Closed system has no interaction
with its environment while an Open system interacts with its environment.
Knowing and using these systems approach will help managers visualize the Organization as a whole
and would help in coordinating the work activities as one. Realizing that decisions, actions and plans
taken will affect the entire organization.
Manager’s job is to the lead the staff he is heading towards the achievement of a common goal. He
makes sure that the organization’s goals are carried out by his department based on the plans set by
the organization. Although the job of a manager is so hard to describe and there is no specific job
description that would fit for a particular managerial position. Different industries have different job
descriptions of how they envisioned their managers to be.

You can use Mintzberg's 10 Management Roles model as a frame of reference when you're thinking
about developing your own skills and knowledge. (This includes developing yourself in areas that
you consciously or unconsciously shy away from.)
First, examine how much time you currently spend on each managerial role. Do you spend most of
your day leading? Managing conflict? Disseminating information? This will help you decide which
areas to work on first.
Management Skills
Most management books identify three types of skills that are essential for a successful management
process:
Conceptual – a manager must have the knowledge or the ability to see the “big picture” of any
given situation to be able to create ideas and visualize plans for the future.
Technical – a manager must possess specific knowledge and the ability to use different techniques
to achieve what they want to achieve.
Human - this skill pertains to interpersonal relationship and the ability to work well with other
people.
