Arrange the following steps of the planning process adopted by XYZ Ltd. in the correct sequence.

(A) XYZ Ltd. has decided to increase their sales by 20% in the financial year 2025-26.

(B) After carefully considering the alternatives, they have decided to try selling their products through e-commerce websites.

(C) After registering with the e-commerce websites, the plan will become operational.

(D) XYZ Ltd. has identified three options: increase in price, use of social media influencers for promotion and selling through e-commerce websites.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> (A), (B), (C), (D) - This sequence skips the step of identifying alternatives before selecting one, making it illogical.

Option 2 -> (A), (D), (B), (C) - This follows the correct planning sequence: setting objectives, identifying alternatives, selecting the best alternative, and implementation.

Option 3 -> (B), (A), (D), (C) - This incorrectly starts with selecting an alternative before setting objectives or identifying options.

Option 4 -> (C), (B), (D), (A) - This illogically begins with implementation before any planning steps are taken.


Hence, Option 2: (A), (D), (B), (C) -> This represents the correct planning process: First, XYZ Ltd. sets the objective (20% sales increase), then identifies three alternative strategies, evaluates and selects the best option (e-commerce), and finally implements the plan through registration -> correct
