Planning in the Novel Mengukir Larut Based on the Management Approach
(Perancangan dalam Novel Mengukir Larut Berdasarkan Pendekatan Pengurusan)
Abstract
This study focuses on a more recent approach in the world of literature in Malaysia known as the Management Approach, which was introduced by Mohamad Mokhtar Hassan in 2013. The novel Mengukir Larut by Amer Hmzah L. Kadir has been selected as the research corpus. The analysis of this study uses the planning principle, which is one of the five principles comprising the Management Approach. This article aims to distinguish and analyse selected events found in Mengukir Larut in order to show the presence of the planning principle. This is a qualitative study using literature review and textual analysis. Based on the detailed observation and analysis towards the occurring events in the selected novel, this study proves a high tendency of the application of the planning principle. The different planning stages such as setting the objective, devising strategies, choosing different alternatives, evaluating various alternatives and choosing one or more ways were the dominant stages in the novel. However, the researcher also found that not all the processes under the planning principle were implemented by the characters in certain events. This study contributes to the world of Malay literature using the Management Approach and proves that the application of literary approaches across different literatures is highly relevant and should be focused upon in future studies.
