As a business man, you are under the category of economic activities. Your enterprise is running these activities through the people whom you have employed as your staff. These employees are in various levels of your business management. They do man your business department’s activities efficiently and effectively if only you have a good management.

So, what is this management that is vital in your enterprise?  I will borrow the definition from the educated fellow who defined it… S. George says “Management is getting things done through the efforts of other people”. It sounds pretty good because you get your business activities executed by others as a manager.

Your enterprise will optimize its resources through good management of your business. As a manger, do you perceive management and administration as the same thing like majority of the people do? If yes, I am going to make a clear distinctions that exists between the two. Ready? Then, here we go….

1. Administration is concerned with the determination of major policies while management will execute these policies determined by administration.

2. Administration is the thinking and the determination of functions while management is doing those functions.

3. Administration makes major decisions of the business while management will execute those decisions within the framework that is set by administration.

4. Administration is a top level activity of any business while management is a middle level activity of any business.

5. Administration is made up of the owners of the enterprise who have invested their capital in it and receive profits as a reward for their capital while management is a group of persons who render their skilled services to an enterprise and get payments in form of salaries. This group of persons is termed as employees.

6. Administration is a term that is common in governments, military, education and religious organizations while management is a term that is common in businesses organizations.

7. Administration is not concerned with directing human efforts in the implementation of plans and policies of any business organization while management is concerned with the directing of human efforts towards implementation of plans and policies of any business organizations.

8. In Administration, planning and organization functions are involved while in management motivation and control functions are involved.

To summarize the distinctions, I will say that administration is concerned with the setting of major objectives, determination of policies and decisions while management executes these policies and decisions. cmveletrhy.
