The originality of this introduction lies in a specific presentation of the contents of business administration. It outlines the direction of a specialized business administration for social services and health. Following this, an overview is provided of eight important aspects of business administration relevant to social services and health. The topics of accounting, controlling, organization, and human resource management are explored in depth. For a long time, the fields of social and health sciences and business administration have avoided each other. As a result, the scientific preparation of business administration for the social and health sector lags behind practical developments and requirements. Politics continually attempts to intervene with regulations and oversight, but the outcomes seem to be consistently deteriorating.
