Bus/Financial - Management
English term or phrase: upper management
as opposed to middle management. the team that communicates the directives of the ceo and cfo etc to the rest of the company. can only find 'ledning' as a generic term in swedish without any detail to convey 'upper,' although i have found the english term used in swedish several times.
