Arrange the steps of organising process in correct sequence.

(A) Departmentalisation

(B) Assignment of duties

(C) Establishing reporting relationship

(D) Identification and division of work

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Option 1 -> Starts with Departmentalisation before identifying what work needs to be done, which is illogical as you cannot create departments without knowing the work first.

Option 2 -> Again begins with Departmentalisation and ends with Identification of work, which reverses the natural flow of the organizing process.

Option 3 -> Follows the logical sequence: first identify and divide work, then group into departments, assign duties to positions, and finally establish reporting relationships.

Option 4 -> Begins with establishing reporting relationships before even identifying the work or creating departments, which is impractical.

Hence, Option 3: (D), (A), (B), (C) -> The organizing process must start with identifying and dividing the total work, followed by grouping similar activities into departments, then assigning specific duties to individuals/positions, and finally establishing the chain of command and reporting relationships to ensure coordination -> correct
