Which of the following is not a feature of management as an art?

Restricted entry

The correct answer is Option (4) → Restricted entry

Management as an art is characterized by:

• Existence of theoretical knowledge (there is a base of principles and concepts),

• Personalised application (each manager applies knowledge in their own unique way), and

• Based on practice and creativity (skills improve through experience).

However, restricted entry is not a feature of art — it applies to management as a profession, where formal qualifications and entry restrictions are required
