Identify the features of Management as a Science.

(A) Systematised body of knowledge

(B) Universal Validity

(C) Principles based on experimentation

(D) Creativity

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Option 1 -> Includes systematised body of knowledge, universal validity, and principles based on experimentation - all core scientific characteristics of management.

Option 2 -> Includes creativity, which is a feature of management as an art (involving personal skill and innovation), not as a science.

Option 3 -> Includes creativity, which relates to the artistic aspect of management rather than its scientific nature.

Option 4 -> Excludes systematised body of knowledge, which is a fundamental feature of any science, including management.

Hence, Option 1: (A), (B) and (C) only -> Management as a science is characterized by a systematised body of knowledge (organized principles and theories), universal validity (principles applicable across situations), and principles based on experimentation and observation. Creativity, while important in management, is a feature of management as an art, not as a science, as it involves personal skill and innovative application rather than universal scientific principles -> correct
