Abstract

The term administration has its origin studied under various dimensions. According to Bandeira de Melo (apud Di Pietro, 2005), one of the genesis of the word is the junction of ad (preposition) added to the verb minister, which means to serve, to execute. The same author mentions that one of the hypotheses could also be related to the term ad manus trahere, which involves idea of "‹"‹direction or management. In both cases, the word administration assumes connotation of subordination and hierarchy. The word therefore encompasses the activity of planning, directing, commanding, as well as the subordinate activity of performing.
