Classification — organizational terms: select the word that does NOT denote a concrete collective entity.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Management

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Three options name concrete collectives; one primarily names a function/discipline or the act of managing. The challenge is to separate abstract function from organizational entity.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Organisation → a structured entity.
  • Team → a defined group of people.
  • Corporation → a legal/juridical entity.
  • Management → the activity/process (and sometimes a cadre) of managing; conceptually different from an entity label.


Concept / Approach:
Prefer the dominant/common meaning: “management” primarily denotes a function or field of study, not a stand-alone entity type like a corporation.



Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Organisation/Team/Corporation → nominal entities.2) Management → function/discipline, thus semantically distinct.3) Hence, “Management” is the outlier.



Verification / Alternative check:
Can each be preceded by “incorporated” or “registered”? Works for “organisation” or “corporation”, not for “management”.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They denote collectives, matching the majority pattern.



Common Pitfalls:
Equating “management” (people in charge) with a legal entity label; even then, its core meaning remains functional, not entity-type.



Final Answer:
Management
