Another proposal: Use Enterprise instead of Management

Productivity Applications: kword, kspread, kpresenter
Creativity Applications: karbon14, krita
Enterprise Applications: kplato, kexi, kivio
Supporting Applications: kchart, kformula

I think this would clearly show that these apps are suited for more
professional users and KPlato, Kivio and Kexi would fit very well.
