Introduction
The business industry is getting wider and competitive. According to Hannagan (2008), organizations must be controlled and well organized in order to achieve their aims and objectives successfully. “Organizing is deciding what is to be done and who is to do it, while control is making sure it is done and done well “(p269). There are many different tasks in which an organization must perform to develop as well as improve its growth and sustainability.
