part of management

Administration is in a way inferior to management in general business environment. Management is to administer management objective. The term manage is "the process of dealing with or controlling things or people -- Oxford-Amereican Dictionary".
Administration is a part of management process, not other way round.
To adminster means to apply.
I said administration is inferior to management in general, but there is an exception. Administration is used in very high ranking social setting, and it is in Capital letter -- such as Bush Administraion.
