Management course (9)
I believe the answer is:
direction
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'management' is the first definition.
(I know that management can be written as direction)
'course' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for direction that I've seen before include "Decision-making" , "Guidance" , "Trend, tendency" , "Tenor" , "Command" .)
