Management
This is from a report by a supervisory body (organo di vigilanza) regarding the implementation of the organizational and management model required by Legislative Decree 231.
"L'OdV ha preso atto che la società è stata classificata come *Ente non di Piccole Dimensioni* e la combinazione del "Rischio Società" e del "Rischio Attività Sensibili" ha determinato un Rischio complessivo 231"Medio"."
I am tempted to translate it as "not a small business," but I wonder whether there is a translation more specific to the context.
All suggestions are welcome.

non-small business
In different contexts, I would be tempted to say "large", but I think I'd stick close to the Italian here.

: "ente" does not mean "business". A corporation in this case is an ADMINISTRATIVE corporation, as your own dictionary definition makes clear

Yes it does. One of its meanings is corporation: http://dictionary.reverso.net/italian-english/ente

Medium-sized enterprises
Just a suggestion as they are not small but not big companies either, but an important category especially in times of crises
