Management in any organization has different levels. Broadly speaking, Strategic, Tactical and Operational or Supervisory. Each level has its unique set of responsibilities and limited powers by virtue of which each one contributes in its own way to the overall performance of the organization.... to achieve organizational goals. In short, people who are responsible to ensure a smooth and steady day-to-day operation of the organization, belong to the Management. On the other hand, only the top brass in the Management (usually, The Boss or Board of Directors and the Strategic management people) belong to Administration. It's because, Administration has the ultimate power to take key decisions to set new strategic targets, organizational goals and even, modes of operation ..... which the Management should diligently follow and fulfill. In other words, Administration takes the strategic decisions (usually focused on long-term achievements) on organizational goals and sets the target and the key protocols for overall operation of the organization. Management finds the best possible ways to implement these protocols to ensure a smooth and successful operation of the organization... which eventually leads to achievements of organizational goals, as set by the Administration. One simple example: If you commit nuisance at work, the Management will report it to the Administration. Administration will take the decision to expel you. Sometimes Management might have been empowered to take such decisions.... but, in the end, their decision needs to be approved (officially) by the Administration.... before you get fired!!

The people who work for a company, all the people on its payroll, are its employees, personnel, staff, workers or workforce. But these words can mean just the people carrying out the work of a company, rather than those leading it and organizing it= the management. Administration, or informally 'admin', is the everyday work supporting a company's activities and it is often done by 'administrative staff' or 'support staff'. For example, those giving technical help to buyers of the company's products are in 'technical support'.

"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. In some organizational analyses, management is viewed as a subset of administration, specifically associated with the technical and mundane elements within an organization's operation. It stands distinct from executive or strategic work." from en.wikipedia.org
