There may be many calls on it to change the management (11)

I believe the answer is:

switchboard

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

'there may be many calls on it' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'change the management' is the wordplay.
'change' becomes 'switch' (switching is a kind of changing).
'the management' becomes 'board' (eg the board managing a business).
'switch'+'board'='SWITCHBOARD'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for switchboard that I've seen before include "Manual telephone exchange" , "Where one may see call girl" , "Part of telecommunications network" , "Feature of exchange" , "Manual telephone connector" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
