Depending on the context, it can be "la direction" (d'une entreprise, par exemple)


Explanation:
It is all a question of context. True, "le management" is widely used in some French companies, even when they are not subsidiaries of American companies!
As for "gestion" applied to "things", not persons, do not we say "gestion des ressources humaines" or "du personnel"?
