11. managed:
In my opinion there are 2 meanings:
– not managed at all -> unmanaged
– wrongly managed -> mismanaged
Is my understanding correct?
Thank you for your comment! Yes you are correct, unmanaged gives you the sense something is unregulated, not controlled e.g. an unmanaged department as opposed to a mismanaged department which means not managed correctly/ or managed wrongly. Thanks for pointing this out!
