Art implies application of knowledge & skill to trying
about desired results. An art may be defined as personalized application of
general theoretical principles for achieving best possible results. Art has the
following characters -
èPractical
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 color 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.
èPersonal
Skill-
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.
èCreativity- Every artist has an
element of creativity in line. That is why he aims at producing something that
has never existed before which requires combination of intelligence &
imagination. Management is also creative in nature like any other art. It
combines human and non-human resources in useful way so as to achieve desired
results. It tries to produce sweet music by combining chords in an efficient
manner.
èPerfection
through practice- 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.
èGoal-Oriented- Every art is result
oriented as it seeks to achieve concrete results. In the same manner,
management is also directed towards accomplishment of pre-determined goals.
Managers use various resources like men, money, material, machinery &
methods to promote growth of an organization.
Thus, we can say that management is an art therefore it
requires application of certain principles rather it is an art of highest order
because it deals with moulding the attitude and behavior of people at work
towards desired goals.
