Management is considered as a social science as:
1. Management has a systematic body of knowledge as in science.
2. Management principles are based on repeated experiments as in science.
3. Scientific principles are derived on the basis of logical and scientific observation which is not present in management.
4. Scientific principles have universal validity and application whereas management principles have personalized application.
So, two of the features of science is present in management and two of them are not present in management. Therefore, management is considered as an inexact science or social science.
