3. Scenario: You are employed as Finance supervisor for a well-known Bank in your place. You directly supervise 30 staff in the Finance Department in which you are the Department Head (DH). Over the last 5 years leadership has discussed merging with another smaller bank in the local area. This bank has another 15 staff that has faced with confusion about whom to report financial issues. As a result of the merger the management structure has been realigned to ensure operational functions of both financialfacilities are controlled by a single manager-you have been chosen as that new manager.

Instructions: Choose one of the basic management functions: Planning, Organizing, Directing, Decision Making, Staffing or Controlling. Clearly describe why you chose this function and why you feel this particular function is essential to your effective management as a result of the merger. Hint: In order to sufficiently address this assignment, you will have to refer back to the lectures as well as conduct independent readings in efforts to display the level of critical thinking required.
