management前用不用冠词的问题

management 前有时用定冠词,有时不用定冠词,但在绝大部分情况下,是不用冠词的,请问这有什么规则吗?比如下面这句:

There needs to be a closer dialogue between management and staff.

可以这样改一下吗?

There needs to be a closer dialogue between the management and the staff.

management作“管理层,管理部门,经营者,资方”解,是集合名词。用作主语时,其谓语动词可用单数形式,也可用复数形式。在句中作主语时应加定冠词,做其他成分时可以无冠词。(You can refer to the people who control and organize a business or other organization as the management.

The management is doing its best to improve the situation.管理部门正在竭尽全力改善局面。

We need to get more women into top management.我们需要让更多的女性进入高层管理。

在并列的表达中,如:management and staffboth management and staffbetween management and staff中,为了简练可以省略冠词,并非说必须省略。如:

Talks between management and unions have collapsed.  资方和工会的谈判失败了。

The whole dispute comes down to a power struggle between management and trade unions. 全部争论其实就是资方与工会间的权力斗争。

management表示抽象含义,是不可数名词,意为“管理,经营”,根据需要,特指时可加定冠词:Management is the control and organizing of a business or other organization.  如:

The zoo needed better management rather than more money.这座动物园需要更好的管理,而不是更多的资金。

The dispute is about wages, working conditions and the management of the mining industry.这场争论围绕着工资、工作条件以及矿业管理展开。

老师的分析很详细,也很深入。我补充一句:即使用作主语时,其前的冠词也可以省略,如下面一句摘自《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》(1989年第四版) management 词条:

Management / The management is / are considering closing the factory. 主管部门正在考虑把工厂关闭。

又如下面一句摘自《剑桥高级英语词典》management 词条:

Management has / have offered staff a 3% pay increase.
