peer agreement (net): +1Management / Administration Explanation: Good and difficult question! Management works in many cases, but not all, as you already indicated. förvaltningsarbete = management förvaltningsgrupp = the management operativ förvaltning = operations management förvaltningsstöd = administrative support (?) (ledningsstöd = management support) förvaltningskostnader = administrative expenses offentlig förvaltning = public administration Good luck with your translation! |

administration/administrative/management Explanation: I agree that it is often quite difficult to decide between management and administration for förvaltning. When faced with it I tend to try to visualise whether the sentence is really about the "nuts and bolts" of an operation, which I would say is "administration/administrative", or about its "management". I would translate your example sentence something like this (off the top of my head, subject to improvement!): The model we use for administrative work builds on the concept of the head of administration working with the operations management in a flowing team exercise that supports constant improvement. I hope this is helpful. |

administration/management Explanation: I would use management if there is a portion of active future looking part in the activity, passive paper shuffling goes under administration. |
