Answer preview
Goldman Sachs is a leading financial institution in the world and one of the companies listed in the Fortune 500 Companies. The company had previously incurred a substantial financial crisis where most of its loans had been on housing, which is a great risk for banks. However, this problem was based not only on the company’s failure to make proper financial decisions but also on the kind of performance review it had adopted.
