According to Fayol the terms "Management" and "Administration" are
Answer: A
Correct answer: Same
Fayol drew no distinction between the two terms. He held that management is a single activity, performed at every level and in every kind of undertaking - industrial, commercial, political or religious - differing in degree rather than in kind as one moves up the hierarchy.
His five elements of planning, organising, commanding, co-ordinating and controlling were meant to apply throughout. The separation of "administration" as policy-making from "management" as execution belongs to later American writers such as Oliver Sheldon; reading it back into Fayol misrepresents him.
