Answer / dr muhammad nadeem anwar
1. As pointed out in previous answer, the terms
management and administration may be used interchangeably,
but as per current usage in management profession, that is
more a case of inappropriate usage of these term rather
than the terms having the same meaning.
Management is a term appropriate for all activities
undertaken to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of
any kind of work. In contrast the word administration is
used primarily for work concerned with maintaining
discipline and order. Thus the work of government and many
other public institutions is called administration. Even in
business the activities that are primarily concerned with
routines to maintain equity and discipline are labeled as
administration function. Thus functions such as maintaining
and operating facilities along with associated operations
like attendance recording are usually called office
administration. Also in matrix organizations this a concept
of managerial responsibility. Thus a subordinate is reports
to functional manager for functional supervision and
guidance, while to project manager for administrative
supervision.
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.
I believe that assertion made in previous post about
difference between manager and administrator on the basis
of responsibility for taking versus implementing decisions
are not in line with common management practice or
literature.
