Administration is a policy- making function; On the other hand, management involves implementing the broad policies laid down by administration. Administrators do the thinking while manager’s act; administration is a top- level activity while management is a lower level function.


British management thinkers such as Brench, Fayol and Kimball asserts that management is a broader concept as compared to administration. Administration handles the problems arising out of execution of policies laid down by management. According to them, management is the rule making and rule enforcing activity. It is a much more comprehensive and an all-encompassing term of which administration is a part of management.
