The administrative management function facilitates planning, coordinating, directing and controlling activities across all functional areas in organisations. As such, it can be seen as the nervous system of organisations, directing and coordinating all parts and ensuring that the whole body functions smoothly and efficiently.
Administrative managers are middle and senior managers and leaders who make certain that information flows and resources are employed efficiently across the whole organisation. They ensure that all operations and systems run smoothly and in the most cost effective manner. Consequently, administrative managers have a key role in business organisations gaining and maintaining competitive advantage.
