Overview
The administration of a business includes the performance or management of business
operations and decision-making, as well as the efficient organization of people and other resources to direct activities towards common goals and objectives. In general, "administration" refers to the broader management function, including the associated finance, personnel and MIS services.
Administration can refer to the bureaucratic or operational performance of routine
office tasks,[1] usually internally oriented and reactive rather than proactive. Administrators, broadly speaking, engage in a common set of functions to meet an organization's goals. Henri Fayol (1841-1925) described these "functions" of the administrator as "the five elements of administration".[2] According to Fayol, the five functions of management are;

Alternatively, some analyses[which?] view management as a subset of administration,
[3] specifically associated with the technical and operational aspects of an organization, and distinct from executive or strategic functions.[citation needed] Academic degrees Bachelor of Business Administration Main articles: Bachelor of Business Administration and Bachelor of Commerce
