Morphology
The meaning 'management related to industry or manufacturing' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'industrial' (relating to industry) with 'management' (the process of organizing/supervising). This follows a regular noun-modifier pattern common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Industrial management comes from the time when big factories began, and the word industrial points to factories while management means organizing people, machines and materials so the work runs smoothly. So industrial management now means 'planning and organizing work and resources in production'.
