INTRODUCTION. • Adminisatration determines the specific goals & lays down the broad areas within which those goals are to be achieved. • Management is planning, organizing, leading & Controlling of human & other resources to achieve organizational goals effectively & efficiently. Ms. SMita Rao

ADMINISTRATION MANAGEMENT THINKING (Plans , policies & objectives) DOING (Execution & direction of plans & policies) Ms. SMita Rao

In 1923, the terminological conflict between the two terms was raised by Oliver Sheldon in his book ‘The Philosophy ofManagement’ when he emphasized administration as decision-making function and management as execution function .After that, this distinction between the two terms was emphasized by many and the terminological conflict proceeded further. Various views expressed in this regard have led to the emergence of three approaches. Ms. SMita Rao

Three Approaches for Management VS Administration • Administration is above management: • Administration is a part of management; • Management and administration are same. Ms. SMita Rao

Administration is Above Management. The general view is that administration relates to policy formulation and management relates to policy execution and these two activities are the same. For example, Spiegel states that: “Administration is that phase of a business enterprise that concerns itself with the overall determination of institutional objectives and the policies necessary to be followed in achieving those objectives. Management, on the other hand, is an executive function which is primarily concerned with carrying out broad policies laid down by the administration.” Since these sets of functions are different, different types of persons with different sets of qualities are required Ms. SMita Rao

ADMINISTRATION IS THE PART OF MANAGEMENT. There is another of though which treats management as more comprehensive function which includes administration also. EX: Brech has viewed management & administration in the following way: “Management is a generic name for the process of executive control in industry or commerce. It is a social process entailing responsibility for the effective & economical planning & regulation of the operation of an enterprise, in the fulfillment of a given purpose or task. Administration is that part of management which is concerned with installation & carrying out of the procedures by which it is laid down & communicated, & the process of activities regulated & check against plans.” Ms. SMita Rao

Management & Administration are Same. Management & Administration are synonymous, the difference between the two terms lies mostly in their usage in different countries or different field of human organizations,EX: Lipinski has made observation that: “The British conception seems to be the general European usage in which management is given a broader meaning than administration. In American usage, administration includes management & organization.” Management is normally used in business sphere. However, Whether administration is used in non-business field & management is used in business field does not make a fundamental distinction between the two because of similarly of the process involved in these. In fact, even this distinction is also disappearing Ms. SMita Rao

Difference Between Administration & Management Ms. SMita Rao

Practically, there is no difference between management & administration. Every manager is concerned with both Practically, there is no difference between management & administration. Every manager is concerned with both - administrative management function and operative management function as shown in the figure. However, the managers who are higher up in the hierarchy denote more time on administrative function & the lower level denote more time on directing and controlling worker’s performance i.e. management. Ms. SMita Rao
