Question

Arrange the following steps of Planning Process in correct order:
A. Developing Planning Premises
B. Setting Objectives
C. Selecting a Plan
D. Identifying and Evaluating Alternative
E. Formulating Derivative Plans

• A. A, B, C, D, E
• B. B, A, D, C, E
• C. C, E, D, B, A
• D. E, B, A, D, C

Hint:

Logic Tip: Planning begins with objectives and ends with derivative/supporting plans.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1:
Planning starts with determining organizational objectives. \[ B = \text{First Step} \]

Step 2:
Planning premises include assumptions and forecasts about future conditions. \[ A = \text{Second Step} \]

Step 3:
Different alternative courses of action are identified and evaluated. \[ D = \text{Third Step} \]

Step 4:
The best plan is selected and supporting derivative plans are prepared. Final sequence: \[ B,\; A,\; D,\; C,\; E \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{(2) B, A, D, C, E}} \]
