Administration; authorities (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

management

This clue is a double definition.

'administration' is the first definition.
(management is a kind of administration)

'authorities' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for management that I've seen before include "Business's upper echelons" , "board" , "Administration" , "Organisation's runners" , "Organisation's leaders" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
