Business Administration Process

When we hear the word Administration we always relate it with business, but in fact, not only business area use administration, in any area like medical, education, hotel/restaurant and others area use it to manage well and get more profit or offer good service.

Teacher has explained about the definition and the purpose of the administration. It is interesting to understand the administration and its function, because I consider everything is related with administration also I think it can apply at home or personal life, for example, I administrate my life, to be more organized and gain the goal what I set, try to avoid and figure out any barrier that can happen in the life. To apply the administration, we should know the definition and the function.

Here has the definition is clear and understandable about the administration.

In business administration consists of the performance or management of business operations and thus the making or implementing of major decisions. Administration can be defined as the universal process of organizing people and resources efficiently so as to direct activities toward common goals and objectives.

Henri Fayol defined "the 5 elements of administration" there are planning, organizing, directing, controlling and budgeting. And it is the process or step should be follow to administrate. Those steps cannot be ignored; there are their own functions to associate each other step. In the internet can search more information or similar steps like that.

In the class, teacher asked us to choose one institution or company and fill in the follow chart as the exercise to be an administrator.

By this exercise can notice how hard is the administration work, every step has to think a lot and analyze the detail because every decision or the action can affect the outcome to be a successful or not, administrator should takes those consideration before to make any decision. It is recommended to organize with team group because there a lot of work and need different personnel to help.

Good administrator is not only can organize or manage well, it requires some values like responsibility, tolerance, good listener, honest and show understanding for the employees but don’t exceed the rule or the political. Try to avoid being a hard and squared man. If not, employees will have pet peeves that drive them a crazy. It is not easy to be an administrator, even though the people think that is a proud to be it and overlook the responsibility has the work.

As I say before administration has the process and depending on what area the process will be similar and take different kind of consideration.
