corporate management

Business leadership hierarchy

Corporate management refers to the executives and administrators who direct a company's operations and strategy—the CEO, CFO, and other senior leaders who make high-level decisions.

The term often appears in contrast to workers, shareholders, or boards of directors: Corporate management decided to close the plant.

It can carry connotations of detachment from day-to-day operations or from the concerns of ordinary employees.
