Definition
行政 (xíngzhèng) refers specifically to the administration or executive branch of a government or organization — it's about running public or institutional affairs. It differs from 管理 (guǎnlǐ), which is broader and means 'to manage' anything (a company, a team, a project), and from 执行 (zhíxíng), which focuses on 'carrying out' specific tasks or orders. 行政 is more formal and institutional, often used in government or corporate titles.
