What is meant by the term management?

This all really depends on your context. 'Management' can be a reference to the group of individuals in a company or organization who hold power and authority over the lower-level employees. 'Management' can also mean how you deal with or control things around you, as in, "What is helpful for the management of stress?" To this, you could answer, "Exercise and sleep are helpful for the management of stress." There's an older form of the word that means to trick or deceive, but chances are you are looking for how it relates to business or dealing with issues you may have.

'Stress management' is a familiar phrase in American culture that acknowledges the need for employees to decompress from their demanding professionals lives.
