recommendations.

| Staff salary | Staffs have revolted against work pressure and have informed that their present salary does little justice to their job responsibility | Board of Directors have been reported to. They have decided to specify job roles and have agreed to increment salary based on job performance |
| Marketing expenses | Suddenly it has been found that expenditure on marketing purpose has escalated and more than allocated budget money is being spent | Marketing Manager has been reported to. He has asked for revision of budget and had decided to restrict marketing activities to an ideal level (Tonkova, 2016, p.170) |
