I believe the answer is:

clipboard

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

'strike in computer facility' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'top managers on' is the wordplay.
'top' becomes 'clip' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'managers' becomes 'board' (I've seen this in other clues).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'clip'+'board'='CLIPBOARD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clipboard that I've seen before include "text-copying facility" , "What may lie behind writing" .)
