Flowing with the waves is called art. Art is an outcome of creativity. Art does something and understanding or explaining the art is Science. Science has laws and theorems. It works on facts. Nature is an art and explaining and understanding nature is Science. Nature however was formed before the birth of Science. Science keeps an account of the occurrences in the nature or any system and then based on this data, it tries to predict “what next”. If it succeeds in predicting the right thing, then the assumptions are put together to form a hypothesis. A proved hypothesis is theorem and an unquestioned and undoubted theory is LAW. Science generalizes everything and what does not fall in the range if generalization is an ‘exception’. As a matter of fact, nature does not works on the basis of facts and generalizations. Inability of human brain to analyse raw data and accept things is what leads to fact-formation. ‘Science’ is taming nature and art; and molding it in a way that an ordinary human brain can grasp. Science is the inability of mankind to accept and create art by itself.
A study of the system that already existed, lead to the birth of Management Sciences. People just did things out of creativity and that was art. Understanding the way they did it and how they did it lead to generation of some generalizations and facts. Inability of ‘creativity-lacking’ man to perform tasks by himself, made him study how others did it. And such community of learning men hid their inability under the pretext of a label they called as Science. (which is a Greek word Scientia – means ‘To know’) The successful attempts of getting a job done were accounted together to form generalizations and a subject was born – ‘Management!’ The unable beginners learn it in the form that it is, that is, definitions, facts, generalizations, theories and laws. At a higher level, they undertake the study of a successful case and this is called as Research.
The artistic people could not think and analyze big enough and so science overtook them and today Science rules. Hence, now the trend is to learn and then to apply what is learnt, leaving no space for the dwelling of art and creativity. For instance, even the musical instruments are now, first learned to be played by the rules and this phase is Science. When the learnt man plays the instrument beyond the rules and boundaries, applying the rules through which he learnt the instrument, is called as an ‘art’. Coming to management, what Dhirubhai Ambani and Lalu Prasad Yadav did was art. Learning what they did and how they made it happen, as is done in the management Colleges, is Science. Learning from this science and applying it in one’s own way or a way that’s sheer outcome of creativity- is ‘ART’!
MANAGEMENT IS A SCIENCE IN THE LEARNING PHASE AND IT IS AN ART IN THE EXECUTTION OR APPLYING PHASE.
Learning is a Science and applying it is an art!
