Morphology
The noun–noun compound is directly compositional: 'line' (a company's product area or operational line) + 'management' (the act of supervising) yields 'management of the line' — i.e., supervision of staff and activities that produce the main output. Although the term is business-specific, its meaning follows a regular English composition pattern and is predictable for learners who know both constituent senses.
Etymology
Line management comes from factories and shops where workers stood on a production line and a supervisor did the management close by. Because the supervisor was right at the place where the work happened, line management now means organising and supervising the staff who directly make the company's main product or provide its main service.
