IN ORGANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS, MANAGEMENT IS VIEWED AS A
SUBSET OF ADMINISTRATION?
Firstly we will discuss that what is administration and
management:
ADMINISTRATION:
Administration can be defined as the universal process of
organizing people and
resources efficiently so as to direct activities toward common
goals and objectives.
MANAGEMENT:
Management is the act of getting people together to accomplish
desired goals and
objectives.
Now we will discuss that how management comes under
administration.
Administration is concerned about the determination of
objectives and major policies of
an organization while management puts into action the policies
and plans laid down by
the administration. Administrators are the one who create rules
and managers are the
one who implement the rules.
Administration decides what a business is going to
do--big-picture decisions like
changes in products/services, expansion. While management
oversee the work of
departments and of individual workers, making sure certain goals
are met.
Administration is wider in scope and it is a top level activity
while management is
narrower in scope because it takes decisions within the
framework set by the
administration and it is middle level activity.
Administration is an administering which is then to manage the
affairs of or to direct or
superintend the execution use and in contrast management is the
development of
people and not the direction of things.
Administration deals with planning, organizing, budgeting or
financial part oforganization while motivating and controlling
functions are involved in management.
Finance is the most important department of any organization and
control on finance
takes the administration above the management.
Administration is a process while management consists of
activities and it is said that
process contains activities.

Administration connected with keeping record, information
processing and paper work
while management associated with the technical and mundane
elements within an
organizations operation. It stands distinct from strategic
work.
VIEWS OF PHILOSOPHERS:
Here views of some philosophers are given in the favor of the
discussion.
OLIVER SHELDON:
Management is defined as the function concerned in the execution
of policy within the
limits set up by administration.
Administration is the function concerned in the determination of
the corporate policy.
SPRIEGEL AND DAVIES:
Management is a part of administration, That phase of a business
enterprise which
concerns itself with the overall determination of the major
policies and objectives is
Administration whereas the executive function which concerns
itself with the
carrying out of the administrative policies laid down by
administration is
Management.
CONCLUSION:
After going through all the points and views of philosophers, we
can clearlyunderstand that all the activities of management come
under administration however,
management is a vital part of administration but it is proved
that in organization,
management is a subset of administration.
