    The situation is about his poor handling of the business matters. I have just rewiritten the sentences as follows.

    1. I don't agree the way you handled the business matters in the above situation.

    2. I don't agree the way you handled the business matters on the above situation.

    3. I don't agree the way you handled the business matters at the above situation.

    Thank you.

    Add 'with' after 'agree' and #1 is correct.

    The others are wrong.
