I believe the answer is:

mismanagement

'bad handling' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for mismanagement that I've seen before include "Bad running (of something)" , "Bad handling" , "Bungling" , "Bad running (of company)" , "Poor running" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sunday Times.
