Managed company diversity (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

range

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'diversity' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'managed company' is the wordplay.
'managed' becomes 'ran' (I've seen this before).
'company' becomes 'ge' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ran'+'ge'='RANGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for range that I've seen before include "Wander freely" , "Cooking appliance" , "Cut; cultivated plant" , "Variation within limits" , "Scope (for target practice?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
