company management

Executive decision makers

Company management refers to the people responsible for running a business—executives, directors, and senior leaders who make decisions about strategy, operations, and personnel.

The term can mean either the activity of managing a company or the group of people who do it: Company management decided to close the factory.

In labor contexts, management often stands opposite workers or unions.
