Easy

Arrange the following steps of Planning Process in the correct sequence:

(A) Setting Objectives

(B) Identifying alternative courses of action

(C) Selecting an alternative

(D) Evaluating alternative courses

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> (A), (B), (C), (D) - This sequence suggests selecting an alternative before evaluating it, which is illogical as you cannot make an informed choice without first assessing the options.

Option 2 -> (A), (B), (D), (C) - This follows the natural flow: set objectives first, identify possible ways to achieve them, evaluate each option, then select the best one.

Option 3 -> (B), (A), (D), (C) - This suggests identifying alternatives before setting objectives, which is impractical as you cannot determine solutions without knowing what you're trying to achieve.

Option 4 -> (C), (B), (D), (A) - This begins with selecting an alternative before any other step, which contradicts the basic logic of planning.

Hence, Option 2: (A), (B), (D), (C) -> The planning process must follow a logical sequence: first establish what you want to achieve (Setting Objectives), then explore different ways to get there (Identifying alternatives), assess each option's feasibility and effectiveness (Evaluating alternatives), and finally make an informed decision (Selecting an alternative). This systematic approach ensures rational and effective planning. -> correct
