Abstract
Management is the art of manipulating men, money, machines, and resources in order to attain certain predefined goals. Although management is essentially an art, like other art forms it should rest on a firm foundation of scientific knowledge. Architecture is also an art, but our bridges and towers would not stand long if the architect’s plans ignored physical laws and material properties. Thus, the failure of management planning is often due to ignorance or misinterpretation of the “laws” of nature rather than to ineffective application. The successful manager is an applied scientist who uses all the relevant results of scientific research to achieve his or her goals.
