Office management is a set of fixed job to maintain the routine works of documentation.

Business administration is more than office management, you should have more knowledge and effective managerial skills to handle the business administration

Office management is a set of fixed job to maintain the routine works of documentation, doing clerical jobs, representing the business and honoring the client requests and forward to the senior management! It is more or less a bookkeeping work.

Whereas, Business administration is more than office management, you should have more knowledge and effective managerial skills to handle the business administration, you need to have more practical and theoretical knowledge, you should be more focused  in order to bringing the business, into the next level of excellence!

Business administration is the systematic approach of handling things in a specialized modus; you need to be highly professional, to handle the business progress, unlike office management.

 

In simple, Business administration is a profound study, you should implement it on daily basis, and unless you understand it you never get succeeded.

I would say that business administration relates to traditional “admin tasks” in a company. For instance: handling the mail, issuing invoices and accounting, managing agendas, making inventories, printing and signing important documents like employments contracts or endorsements etcetera.

Office management refers to a larger amount of tasks. The concept is wider than the sole business administration. It concerns the running of an office as a whole, including its employees.

To lay a definition, I would say that the aim of office management is, besides making sure the office runs efficiently, enabling each employee to be productive and happy in their office! Indeed, office management and company culture go hand in hand. Typical office management tasks can range from purchasing for the office, to onboard new employees as well as to organize the annual team building event.

Being an office manager is a 3-headed job: office managers handle office happiness, HR and purchases at the same-time - and that's the main reason why this job is often misunderstood. In this post 'Understanding the work of startup Office Managers', there are some details about their tasks, the tools they use and a bit on the future of this job.

  Business performed with offices and interests in which business is conducted in a series of workshops sponsored by the Directors of the Corporation or a public utility and therefore divided the business into bundles for office by the powers of this distribution we call business administration and management powers of the same office we call the Office Management service managed administrative system as meaning the organization founder and means the discipline of the service there is no integration of differential and difference valuable business volume only and powers The administration of the business of the most comprehensive office management and this is my opinion more to add to the opinion of colleagues.

Office management is a profession involving the design, implementation, evaluation, and maintenance of the process of work within an office or organization, in order to maintain and improve efficiency and productivity.

 

An office manager is responsible for monitoring and reviewing systems, usually focusing on specific outcomes such as improved timescales, turnover, output, sales, etc. They may supervise or manage a team of administrators, allocating roles, recruiting and training, and issuing assignments and projects. As such the role is varied, often including responsibilities across a diverse range of functions such as:

  • Customer Service
  • Report Writing
  • Budget Management
  • Database Management
  • Systems Analysis
  • Process Mapping
  • Purchasing
  • Book Keeping
  • Human Resources
  • Recruitment
  • Accounting
  • Sales and Marketing
  • Records Management
  • Form/Template Design
  • Website Maintenance
  • Project Management
  • Management Consultancy
  • Facilities management
  • Space Management
  • Risk Management
  • Payroll

 

The line of demarcation between administration and management is very thin and blur. They may seem alike, but they are very different from each other. Administration means a process of effectively administering the entire organization. Management is an act of getting work done through others. We often get confused between them easily, however, the basic distinguishing point between the two is that management is answerable to the administration. In this article, you will find all the important differences between management and administration.
