Morphology

managerially = managerial (transparent) = manage + er + ial + ly

The adverb is formed regularly from the adjective 'managerial' with '-ly', so the meaning is straightforward.

Etymology

Managerially comes from manager, which comes from an old word for 'hand' so manage originally meant 'to handle or control'. Adding -ial and -ly makes it an adverb, so managerially means 'in the way of a manager', acting to plan, organize, and control.
