Prior to Fuller’s transfer, management at the Carson’s location was poorly run using the classical approach. While this approach can be successful, management has to find a good middle ground between caring for the company and caring about their employees.

According to text, these factors are planning, organizing, command, coordination and control (Miller, 19-20). These factors can be seen when you look at Third Bank as a whole. In the study, the CEO saw the issues in his company and put a plan together to improve. He had meetings with management, like fuller, to organize a solution. He then commanded all locations

At that time National Savings and Investment Bank was the only bank which was incorporated by a Parliament Act. There was no regulatory framework which led private sector savings banks to carry out its activities.

Can anyone imagine what will happen to Malaysia after a few more decades? Debt crisis in Malaysia is getting more severe due to lack of management among individuals. Serious debt crisis might lead to bankruptcy to our country. Nation leaders should lead others away from debt. If this scenario continues, Malaysia might follow the footstep of Greece, Spain, Italy, and Portugal. Debt crisis can be avoided by providing trainings and courses to the employees, improve individual personal finance management and filtering candidates in hiring process.
