Learn English – When would you capitalize “Management”, if ever

capitalization

I'm editing a technical policy/procedure document, and it says:

…does not limit the right of Management to impose additional training….

Is the capitalization correct?

Best Answer

Contracts, policy manuals, and rules often use defined terms.

See: http://lexicontools.com/defined_term.php

From that:

The standard convention in legal documents is to define terms in double quotes and designate subsequent references with initial capital letters.

Management is likely a defined term. Capitalizing defined terms is common practice in my experience.

EDIT:

Here is an agreement between the University of New Mexico and staff in which Management is a defined and caplitalized term-

For fun, here is an agreement in which State is a defined and capitalized term- http://www.irle.berkeley.edu/library/pdf/0112.pdf

And here is a contract in which the defined terms are in ALL CAPS and BOLD- http://www.irle.berkeley.edu/library/pdf/0356.pdf
