Abstract
Business administration theory serves as a conceptual framework that enables organizations to effectively implement strategies in a highly competitive environment with continuously evolving economic dynamics. This article aims to present the application of business administration theory in the context of business organizations by analyzing its definition, the relationship between social science theories and business administration theory, the differences between management theory and business administration theory, and the practical application of business administration theory. Business administration theory helps organizations adapt and gain strategic advantages while serving as a crucial tool for management and long-term business sustainability. Therefore, effectively applying business administration theory requires analyzing both internal and external environments, aligning concepts with organizational structure and culture, and adopting a systematic approach to strategy formulation. The ability to integrate business administration theory into concrete management processes will be a key factor in determining the success and growth of business organizations in the future.
