Continuous management (7)
I believe the answer is:
running
This clue is a double definition.
'continuous' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'management' is the second definition.
(I know that running is a type of administration)
(Other definitions for running that I've seen before include "Managing; flowing" , "Jogging" , "In operation" , "Directing" , "cross-country event?" .)
