dear GIS folks, I want to know what is the difference between Network Mangement and Utility network?

Very interesting question! Glad that you started this thread @DasheEbra 

Here's my take on this:

Utility Network = ArcGIS Utility Network product  

Utility Network is the ArcGIS product focused on network solutions for electric, gas, and water utilities, architecture, engineering, construction (AEC), and telecommunications industries. The Helpful Utility Network Links provided by @VanessaSimps applies to  ArcGIS Utility Network.

Network Management = generic theme, model, solution, technique to manage any network.

 Network Management is a theme and not an ArcGIS product. There are several ArcGIS products (not a comprehensive list) that offer network management capabilities like:

•  ArcGIS Utility Network
• ArcGIS Network Analyst
• ArcGIS Trace Network
• ArcGIS Pipeline Referencing
• ArcGIS Roads & Highways
• ArcMap Geometric Network (legacy)
• Arc Hydro
• etc.
