Planning

Medium

Identify the correct statements in the context of the planning.

(A) Planning will be a futile exercise if it is not acted upon or implemented.

(B) Planning implies a process which coordinates human efforts and assembles resources.

(C) Planning is closely connected with creativity and innovation.

(D) Planning is what managers at all levels do.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A) and (B) only

(A), (B) and (D) only

(A), (C) and (D) only

(B) and (D) only

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1 -> (A) and (B) only - Incorrect because while (A) is true, (B) describes organizing more than planning, and it excludes other correct statements (C) and (D).

Option 2 -> (A), (B) and (D) only - Incorrect because (B) is questionable as it describes the organizing function rather than planning itself, and it excludes the correct statement (C).

Option 3 -> (A), (C) and (D) only - This identifies the three genuinely correct statements: planning needs implementation to be meaningful, involves creativity/innovation, and is performed by managers at all levels.

Option 4 -> (B) and (D) only - Incorrect because (B) is not entirely accurate for planning, and it excludes correct statements (A) and (C).

Hence, Option 3: (A), (C) and (D) only -> Statement (A) is correct as planning without implementation is meaningless; (C) is correct as planning inherently involves creative thinking and innovative approaches; (D) is correct as all managerial levels engage in planning. Statement (B) is excluded because coordinating human efforts and assembling resources is primarily the organizing function, not planning itself -> correct

"In an organisation, a well-defined plan is drawn up with specific goals to be achieved within a specific time frame. These plans then decide the future course of action and managers may not be in a position to change it. Following a pre-decided plan, when circumstances have changed, it may not turn out to be in the organisations interest".
