Morphology
MGT = management (semi-transparent) = M + G + T
The abbreviation maps clearly to 'management', but this is an initialism rather than a regular morphological formation learners generalize from.
Etymology
MGT is an abbreviation for management, a word that originally meant 'to handle' by hand and is like manual, which is about 'hands'. So MGT refers to the people or department who 'handle' and run a company.
