management
n. 1. Corporate power elites distinguished primarily by
their distance from actual productive work and their chronic
failure to manage (see also suit). Spoken derisively, as in
"Management decided that ...". 2. Mythically, a vast
bureaucracy responsible for all the world's minor irritations.
Hackers' satirical public notices are often signed `The Mgt'; this
derives from the "Illuminatus" novels (see the Bibliography in
Appendix C).
