A manager decides to impose a sales quota on the company's sales force. The
administrator is responsible for seeing to it that the quota is met through the
maintenance of records.
A manager decides that there will be a "no tolerance" policy for tardiness. It
will be up to the administrator to monitor the compliance of the policy
through observation or through the review of records.
Thus we may say that the administration forms to part management function. All
that is administration is also management. But all that is management is not
administration. Administration is a subset of management.
Simply we can say that: Administration is concerned about the determination of objective
and major policies. And Management puts into action the polices and plans laid down by
administration.
