What’s the difference between "Management" (Manager مدير) & "Administration" (Administrator إداري)?

There are many factors according to which administration can be distinguished from management. These are as follows: 

Administration: It is concerned about the determination of objectives and major policies of an organization.

Management: It puts into action the policies and plans laid down by the administration.

Administration:It is a determinative function.

Management: It is an executive function.

Administration:It takes major decisions of an enterprise as a whole.

Management: It takes decisions within the framework set by the administration.

Administration:It is a top-level activity.

Management: It is a middle level activity.

Administration:It consists of owners who invest capital in and receive profits from an enterprise.

Management: It is a group of managerial personnel who use their specialized knowledge to fulfill the objectives of an enterprise.

Administration:It is popular with government, military, educational, and religious organizations.

Management: It is used in business enterprises.

Administration:Its decisions are influenced by public opinion, government policies, social, and religious factors.

Management: Its decisions are influenced by the values, opinions, and beliefs of the managers.

Administration:Planning and organizing functions are involved in it.

Management: Motivating and controlling functions are involved in it.

Administration:It needs administrative rather than technical abilities.

Management handles the employers.

Administration handles the buisness aspects such as finance.

Management is overall handling of specific field (seperate or joinned) like Sales Management, Accounts Management, Product ManagementAdministration is more of a specific task/activity within a field 

So you can add Administrative Management if someone is managing Administration activities

Hi Sir..

There is a difference between an administrator and a manager. An administrator is an individual who is the executive official in charge of other officials or workers in a business or institution such as a school. Administrators usually hold higher degrees such as master's or doctor's degrees. They also help oversee and manage the affairs of the business or institution. A manager is an individual who takes care of the affairs or finances of a business, institution, client, or residence. They may be regulated by an administrator.

A Management is overall handling of any organization, whereas Administration is a part of Management which deals with administration and applying  the policies developed by the management.

Dear Khatim Abbas Seed A person who is responsible for managing the matters of thier workers is called Manager but An Adminstrator is responsible to controlling the matters of his office is called adminstrator. 

Administration means the performance or management of business operations. Administration is usually the head of all department, though several different jobs fall under this category, but basically Administration is all support related jobs to a company. Management in simple terms means the act of getting people together to accomplish desired goals. While both these words can technically be used interchangeably typically in the business world Administration is the at the top, and management would come below that. So you could say Administration is the performance of business operations and it relies on management to accomplish it's goals.

Management is the soul of organisation which drives the  Body ( Administration) . Management vision will executed as the administrative powers and authority for administrators. The frame work and the monitoring of a good management is directly linked to the success of good administration policy . The vertical of administration is a face book of management capabilities and the success of  administration will gear up the management to sustain .

So management is the soul and administration becomes the   body of the soul .

According to management thinkers like Peter Drucker, Henri Fayol and William H. Newman the two terms Administration  and Management are synonymous and are used interchangeably.  In a Government and public bodies it could be referred as administration where as in corporate world it could be referred as management.  I remember my professor Harley mentioning during my class "POSDCORB" that is Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Directing, Co-Ordinating, Reporting and Budgeting.

According to the eminent management thinkers like Oliver Sheldon and others administration and management are two different terms.  Administration is a thinking function, determination of policies and objectives of the business.  Management involves the execution of policies and directing the function to accomplish the objectives set by the administration. 

There is a terminology problem, management is categorized into two that is Administrative Management and Operative management. The planning function is done by the Administrative Management that is top level management and the execution of plans is done by the the operative management.

Determine of the exact difference of Admin and Management function in a company depends on the size of the company.  One may notice in a smaller organisation both the functions may be carried out by one or few individuals.  

Agree with Ms Hanna. Very well explained.
