managementbezogen

Managementbezogen is a German adjective that describes a relation to management. It is often translated as management-related or management-oriented in English. The term is widely used in business, organizational sciences, and human resources to label topics, competencies, curricula, or analyses that pertain to management practice and governance rather than purely technical or operational aspects.

The word is formed from Management (the loanword for the managerial function) and bezogen (related or referring to). As a modifier, it can be attached to a wide range of nouns, for example: managementbezogene Inhalte (management-related content), managementbezogene Kompetenzen (management-related competencies), or managementbezogene Fragestellungen (management-related questions). In academic and professional contexts, it signals that the subject matter addresses governance, leadership, strategy, planning, or organizational design.

In educational settings, it is used to delineate curricula or training modules that focus on managerial topics rather than, for instance, engineering or IT specifics. In research, it helps categorize studies as belonging to management scholarship, including areas such as organizational behavior, strategic management, or change management. In corporate language, the term assists in constructing job descriptions, development programs, and evaluation criteria that pertain to managerial responsibilities.
