Administration
Administration refers to the process of managing, organising, and supervising business operations to achieve specific objectives effectively and efficiently. It involves planning, organising, staffing, directing, and controlling the resources of an organisation, including people, money, equipment, and information.

Administrative work is essential to businesses because it provides support to all areas of the organisation, ensuring that operations run smoothly and efficiently. It involves handling a wide range of tasks such as managing budgets, hiring and training employees, overseeing the day-to-day operations, developing and implementing policies and procedures, handling customer inquiries, and managing data and information systems.
Administrators are important to businesses because they help to ensure that the organisation is operating at its maximum potential. They are responsible for keeping the business organised and on track, which allows the business to focus on its core activities.
