3.5
Principles of Management
Management an Art or Science
In the words of Dean Stanely F. Teele,
“ Management is a mixture of art and science.
The present ratio is about 90% art and 10% science. Though a very great deal of developments
are presently increasing that proportion which can properly be called science. I am willing to venture
a guess that by the end of another generation the ratio will be 80% Art and perhaps 20%. Science
” .
3.7 Management – As a profession :
A profession is an “ occupation backed by organized knowledge and training and to which
entry is regulated by a representative body “.
Thus, all professions are occupations in the sense that they provide means of livelihood.
However, all occupations are not professions because some of them lack certain features
of a profession.
Features of Profession
:
(i)
Organised body of knowledge, principles and techniques.
(ii)
Formal training and education.
(iii)
Restriction on entrance.
(iv)
Existence of a representative body.
(v)
Prevalence of a code of conduct.
(vi)
Spirit of service to the society.
