Etymology
The word mismanagement comes from the part mis- meaning 'wrong' or 'bad' and the verb manage, which means 'to handle' or 'take care of' and is the same root as manager. So mismanagement literally means 'handling something badly', which is why it describes careless or inefficient management.
