In English, Administration and Management are different and are used with different meanings; In Italian, this difference is going to be made clear in recent years. For te difference between Management (Gestione) and Administration (Amministrazioe), plz read below. I caanot remember from where I have saved its file. Sorry!
Administration, Management, Leadership:
People tend to mix up the terms leadership, management and administration and, of course, there is a lot of overlap. But let’s try to separate them out, starting with administration and management.
A line I find easy to remember is that administration is doing the thing right, whereas management is doing the right thing. That’s a bit simple but it’s a useful guide. In administration you assume that the basic framework for the activity is set and you have to make things happen properly within that framework.
Take the example of a bus company. The company has buses and drivers. It has published a timetable telling people where and when its buses go. Making all this happen requires good administration. The buses have to be kept clean and topped up with fuel. They need to be serviced regularly to keep them in good running order and to satisfy safety requirements. Schedules have to be made for the drivers which must allow them to have holidays and days off. There have to be alternative arrangements ready in case a bus breaks down or a driver is sick. So there is a plenty of organisation and administration needed to keep the bus company running well and the passengers safe. That’s what I mean by doing things right.
But the company can do things right according to its timetable and still not make money or provide the service its customers really want. Managing the bus company, as distinct from administering it, means doing the right thing. This implies, for example, checking that the bus routes go where people really want to go, ensuring that the timetable makes it convenient for passengers who have to change to another bus or train or who have to get to and from work at particular hours. The manager will try new things from time to time, such as new ways of selling tickets, maybe with a discount if you buy several at once, or through shops near the bus routes.
