Urge to get the company back into operation (7)
I believe the answer is:
process
'operation' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'urge to get the company back' is the wordplay.
'urge' becomes 'press' ('press' can be a synonym of 'urge'**).
'to get' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'the company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'co' in reverse letter order is 'oc'.
'press' placed around 'oc' is 'PROCESS'.
'into' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for process that I've seen before include "Course of action intended to achieve a result" , "Series of actions with a single purpose" , "Deal with in a routine way" , "The case" , "Advance ceremoniously" .)
