Which of the following is not a feature of management as an art?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
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
