I don't think "management" really works as a meaning. None of the 国語s support it. Some people routinely refer to management as "capitalists", but that doesn't make them synonyms.

Hi, the textbook I'm using uses 資本家 to mean "management" (as contrasted with "workers"). dic.yahoo.co.jp also gives "management" as one definition. I think this is distinct enough from "capitalist" to be a separate sense.

progressive does have "management".  i question if adding it may be slightly misleading.  perhaps less so if it's part of a single sense
