English translation:Bottom-up interviews up to management
Explanation:
There's a mistake in your text:
The expression are:
top-down analysis and bottom-up analysis.

It is used on Wall Street to refer to the manner in which analysts (stock analysts) analyse companies.

Top down means they look at the behavior of the stock price and some financials first and probably nothing else.

Bottom up means they look much more closely at the company, into its units and divisions, etc.

So, in your sentence, since they are saying UP TO management, la direcciön being the TOP of the company,
THEY MEANT TO SAY...BOTTOM UP...AND THEY GOT CONFUSED OR WERE TRYING TO BE COOL AND GOT IT WRONG.

Top-down interviews and all the way to Management


Explanation:
Entrevistas con la Dirección y Top-Down hasta los usuarios clave

Interviews with Management and top-down to key users

Entrevistas down-top y hasta la Dirección

Top-down interviews and all the way to Management

Somewhat contradictory, but that's how I read it.

"Top-down" is of course an anglicism, meaning from the top level down to lower levels.
