In Organizational analysis,
Management is a subset of
Administration, Debate?

In business, administration consists of the performance or

management of business operations and thus the making or implementing of major
decisions. Administration can be defined as the universal process of organizing
people and resources efficiently so as to direct activities toward common goals and
objectives.
 Administrator can serve as the title of the general manager
or company secretary who reports to a corporate board of directors. This title is
archaic, but, in many enterprises, this function, together with its associated
Finance, Personnel and management information systems services, is what is
intended when the term "the administration" is used.

Administration usually handles the business aspects, such as

finance. It may be defined as a system of efficiently organizing people and
resources, so as to make them successfully pursue and achieve common goals and
objectives. Administration is perhaps both an art and a science. This is because
administrators are ultimately judged by their performance. Administration must
incorporate both leadership and vision.

In some organizational analyses, management is viewed as

a subset of administration, specifically associated with the technical and mundane
elements within an organization's operation. It stands distinct from executive or
strategic work. Management deals with the employees. Administration is above
management, and exercises control over the finance and licensing of an
organization.

In other organizational analyses, administration can refer to

the bureaucratic or operational performance of mundane office tasks, usually
internally oriented and reactive rather than proactive.

Therefore, we can see that these two terms are distinct from
one another, each with their own set of functions. Both these functions are crucial,
in their own ways, to the growth of an organization.
