Funny, I have always used MGMT as the shortform for management. A
check of our company's policy and procedure documentation shows that
the same shortform has been used for over 20 years. I can't ever
remembering seeing MNGT in any written material where shorforms have
been used.
Maybe its because I'm from Canada, eh?
