"Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet management program. It is part of the Microsoft Office suite that includes Access, InfoPath, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Word."
http://it.med.miami.edu/x1640.xml

A spreadsheet program is designed to perform general computation tasks using spatial relationships rather than time as the primary organizing principle. Many programs designed to perform general computation use timing, the ordering of computational steps, as their primary way to organize a program. A well defined entry point is used to determine the first instructions, and all other instructions must be reachable from that point.

agree  James (Jim) Davis: I don't think you want (managment) in the equation here. It made me think of a programme to manage the programme Excel, and VBA programmes do just that.
