done with the

aim of achieving goals

Organising the best possible manner.

Efficiency

Means doing the task correctly and with


minimum cost , materials, Equipment and
persons required.

Doing things rightly


Effectiveness

• Finishing the given task.

• Effectiveness in management is concerned with


doing the right task, completing activities and
achieving goals.

In other words, it is concerned with the end


result.
Efficiency

• Means doing the task correctly and with minimum


cost.

• If by using less input resources (money, materials,


equipment and persons) more benefits are derived
(i.e., the outputs) then efficiency has increased.

• Efficiency is also increased when for the same


benefit or outputs with fewer resources are used and
less cost are incurred.
Effective but not efficient Suppose, a
company’s target production is 5000 units in a year.
To achieve this target the manager has to operate
on double shifts due to power failure most of the
time. The manager is able to produce 5000 units but
at a higher production cost. In this case the manager
was effective but not so efficient, since for the same
output more inputs (labor cost, electricity costs)
were used
Efficient but not effective: - business may
concentrate more on producing goods with
fewer resources i.e., cutting down cost but
not achieving the target production. Due to
which the goods do not reach the market and
hence the demand for them declines and
competitors enter the market this is a case of
being efficient but not effective since the
goods did not reach the market

Whether

Management is Art or not


Application of Personal Skill
Two managers use theoretical knowledge of management
in totally different ways, like two singers or two painters.
Like in any art, in management too, a manager applies
his acquired knowledge in a personalized and unique
manner.
Students of management also apply these principles
differently depending on how creative they are after long
practice

Yes
Practice and Creativity
Based on continuous practice and Creativity.
Like any other art, a manager after studying various
situations, formulates his own theories for use in a given
situation.

This gives rise to different styles of management

Management satisfies these criteria as a manager gains


experience through regular practice and becomes more
effective

Yes
Existence of theoretical knowledge
For example, literature on dancing, public
speaking, acting or music is widely recognized

As in art, in management too, there is a lot of


literature available in various areas of
management which the manager has to
specialize in like marketing, HRM etc

Let Us See

Whether

Management is science or not


Based on experiment and observation

Like science, management principles are derived


through observation and repeated experimentation.

However since management deals with human whose


behavior is difficult to understand and are not
capable of being accurately predicted.

Therefore, management can be called an inexact


science or a social science

NO
No Universal Applicability
Principles of management like principles of science
provide managers with certain standardized techniques
that can be used in different situations.

However, since the principles of management have to be


modified according to a given situation, their
application and use is not universal.

So, this feature of science is not fully present in


management

NO
Systematized body of knowledge
Like science, management is a systematic body of
knowledge with its own theories and principles that have
developed over a period of time.

So, this feature of science is present in management.

Yes
Conclusion

Inexact science / Social science

Not as exact as that of sciences as


it deals with human beings which keep
on changing and it is very difficult to
predict their behavior accurately

Soft Science /Flexible science

Its theories and principles may


produce different results at different
times and therefore it is a behavior
science.
