It can be both. If you do a Bachelor of Management Science, there will be many more econometric and statistical elements to it. If you do a Bachelor of Arts in Management or a Bachelor of Management it's actually considered to be more of a Commercial discipline than an Artistic one. In it's simplest form where more emphasis is placed on case studies and the practical application of theories rather than the physical derision of those theories or study of where those theories are derived from, it would be considered less of a Science.

To steal one from Archie Bunker--what are you going to do?  be a sociologist?  \n\nPsycology is both more apt to lead to a job, and is a harder (more fact, less opinion) science than sociology.

Well, it would really depend a lot on the type of problem and the complexity of the situation.\n\nMost managers use a 9-step problem solving method to solve problems, these steps are as follows:\n\n1. Describe the situation-(1) What is the situation? (2) What challenges exist? (3) What opportunities exist?\n\n2. Frame the "right" problem-(1) What is the problem? (2) Is there a problem? (3) Is it worth solving? (4) How would one look at this as an opportunity rather than a problem?\n\n3. Describle the end goals-(1) What does the ideal end state look like? (2) What are the goals that define it?\n\n4. Identify alternatives-(1) What are some possible solutions? (2) What are your assumptions and constraints? (3) Can you let them go? (4) What are some best case solutions?\n\n5. Evalute your alternatives-How do the alternative solutions stack up against the goal? Are there goals that, if not met, would eliminate the solution?\n\n6. Identify and assess risks-What are your risks (positive and negative)? What are the consequences (positive and negative) of the risks? Are the potential consequences worth the risk?\n\n7. Make the decision-What are the reasonable alternatives to consider? What are the pros and cons of each considering the assessment? What is the best solution considering the facts and your intuition?\n\n8. Develop and implement your solution-What type of solution are you talking about? Who should be involved?\n\n9. Evaluate the results-How do you define success? Did you achieve your desired results?\n\nThis is a method that I learned in my MBA program and have found it very useful professionally and personally--I hope that it also help you. Best of luck to you.

Finance is the one that pays off the most followed by Health Care Management. The problem with accounting is that there are people certified with a MS in accounting taking those jobs. The management and leadership stuff are just completely useless. And the new "entrepreneurship" is actually counterproductive because the employers consider you as someone that'll leave.

Often times, studies that are very structured and methodical are considered "sciences," as opposed to free form studies that are considered "arts."\n\nSince library books are organized by subjects with the Dewey Decimal System for non-fiction, or alphabetical by author for fiction.

Kinda new at this but here I go...\nAs a landscape architecture and music major myself I found that both involve highly creative detail oriented shorter projects that in the end contribute to creating something much bigger, an environment or atmosphere for people to be alive in. Both music and landscaping alters people's emotions and both have problem-solving and eye/ear 'manipulating' aspects involved... both are arts that are perhaps looked down to as the 'other ones' (architecture -> landscape architecture and visual arts-> performing arts) Does that help? =]

if your a logistical person, good at organising things but not so keen on disciplining other go for higher management. Strangely the psychological requirements for being a good upper level manager is the same as nursing. Problem solving and looking after about 15 things.\n\nlower level management is more people skills, less problem skills.\n\nTechnology?  hmm, if you like designing things and have a good imagination, so so on the maths go for industrial design or architecture.\n\nIndustrial designers do what i imagined engineers did\nengineers do lower level management

The Business Administration has a lot more math/quanitative classes in the program, more accounting even. Business management has more qualitative classes. The Business Administration class has a better chance of going into MBA programs (thats what I was told).

This type of management can be done at all levels of a modern org. Chiefly it is done at the very top level, ie board of directors, chairman, CEO.\nStrategic management is about having a future vision for the org, and managing how to achieve that vision. Good modern management is less about all out control, and more about helping facilitate moves in good, positive directions.

theoretically the importance of statistics in management is to provide a factual basis for decision making - however, in my personal experience statistics are generally manipulated in order to support the personal aims of the manager concerned

management plays an important role in producing goods, but plays an even bigger role in producing quality goods. To produce quality it has to come from the top.  The employees have no control over the system and how it works.  Only management can make the neccessary changes to improve quality of the product. a manager that blames his employees for every defect or complaint obviously knows nothing about management. Management must come to the realization they need to guide and teach instead hound and degrade.an employee cannot produce anymore than the machinery will allow.

Financial Management\n6. Information Technology Management.\nMay I ask to which management are you referring??\nAs for general, here are the facts you asked.\nThe term "management" characterizes the process of and/or the personnel leading and directing all or part of an organization (often a business) through the deployment and manipulation of resources (human, financial, material, intellectual or intangible).\n\nAccording to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word "manage" comes from the Italian maneggiare (to handle — especially a horse), which in turn derives from the Latin manus (hand).\n\nManagement has to do with power by position, whereas leadership involves power by influence\nManagement consists of five skills ( functions )\n1. planning \n2. organizing \n3. leading \n4. co-ordinating \n5. controlling
