20 Administration terms

I have been studyinf for two years in the administration program. My glossary will be for those who are interested in administration and business. This field of study is for the people who want to work in a company as a boss. They have to make sure that the business is running and everyone is doing their job. It includes a lot of accountability but it comes with a great salary. Sometimes, you will have to make some very important decisions. This topic includes the management, the human resource, the accountability and the marketing. They all have specific function such as the production for the manager, the recruitment for human resources, the budget for the accountant and the sales for the marketing department. I went on google to found the definition of the words in the glossary.
