| Abstract | The article reviews and puts to critical analysis a large number of simultaneously existing and competing definitions of the notion ´administration´. It has been shown that the existing definitions in many cases do not meet the requirements of modern science either by content or by formal characteristics. It is mentioned that such a state can threaten the strictness and non-ambiguity of the obtained research results. In this article a generalizing definition of administration process as a mechanism for increasing system efficiency is given by a regular method based on the system approach. It has been shown that this definition is necessary and sufficient, and it has a powerful productive potential in terms of subsequent creation and concordance of the terminology system of the public administration science.http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ppaa.10.3.642 |
