IS MANAGEMENT AN ART
In straight and simple terms, management is the technique of exercising control for achieving set goals of the target with this simple definition it is not difficult to see that such exercising of control(self discipline) applies to ones personal life as much as it does to what in the external world. According to the peter drucker management relates closely to the spirit of the arts, which infact is also true for all creative endeavors of man kind in any field he says The essence of management is to make knowledge productive. In other words management is a social function and in its practice management is truly a liberal art. Anyone who has experience of managing different type of organization would agree that 90% of management is management of people and 90% of management of people is management of self so infact management is nothing but the management of self. Manager works is to hear, watch and assess and assigns responsibility based on assessment the result reflects his ability to see and hear sensitively. To make good assessment it is not only the written and spoken word which convey the meaning, it is also the mood, gesture, choice of place. Management is leadership and essential aspect of leadership is not only to cope up with changes but indeed to bring them about. Many quantum philisests including novels, belief- as Budhist philosopher always did that t he final building lock of the Universe is neither matter nor energy, neither electron nor proton nor any other particle.

WHAT I S ART

Defining art is one of the most illusive concept in the history of human thought. Art always lacks satisfactory definition it is easier to describe it as the way something is done The use of the skills and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environment or experiences that can be shared with others rather than what it is. Art alone enjoys a unique freedom, a unique capacity to mix all directions of human experiences. A scientist conducts his experiments in a particular situation and then deduces conclusions of the general law that lie behind the observed phenomenon but in art the specific story or the picture touches something Universal in the heart and creates an immediate sense of general. A work of art is essentially a sharing of experiences between the artist and the viewer in a unique way, a work of art leads us to experience the range and limitations of human situations.

MODERN ART AND INDUSTRIAL SOCIETY

LModern art goes with the professionalism now art is also one of the way to make the profit or to earn the money. Today industry is demanding more and more people who knows the art of execution and achieving the preset goal. Now industrial society has recognized the importance of the art of making profit and utilizing the resources and this is why people are working hard to nourish the art of the management so that they can deliver best creation from this art

IMAGINATION : SPRING BOARD OF MANAGEMENT

Imagination is a word commonly associated with the arts it distinguishes man from animals and all other life on earth. Human beings have the ability to visualize the things and concepts in their minds eye, in total absence of their physical presence. Imagination works with the human ability to recall the past in a way that it has a visual impact. By rearranging g the images of past experience in our mind we are able to project them in hypothetical situation. The entire process of human thought and feelings are infact a series of photographic images which flow through the mind.

A BRIEF GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE.

Their role will keep changing in accordance to the changing environment. The organizations with higher rate of learning will survive and grow and others would be casted away by changing environment.
