Administration, Organization, and Management

Administration lays down the “object” for which organization and management should strive and also the broad policies under which they are to operate.

The organization is a combination of men, money, materials, tools, etc brought systemically and by effective correlation to achieve an object.

Management: It leads, guides, and directs an organization for the accomplishment of a predetermined object.

So administration defines the goals management strives toward them. The organization is the machine of the management in its achievements of ends decided by the administration.
