Arrange the following steps of a company's organizing process in the correct sequence.

(A) Identification and division of work

(B) Departmentalisation

(C) Assignment of tasks

(D) Establishing reporting relationships

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Option 1 -> This follows the logical sequence: first identifying and dividing work, then grouping into departments, assigning tasks, and finally establishing reporting relationships.

Option 2 -> This sequence incorrectly places assignment of tasks before departmentalisation, which is illogical as you cannot assign tasks without first creating departments.

Option 3 -> This sequence incorrectly starts with departmentalisation before identifying work, which is impossible as you need to know what work exists before creating departments.

Option 4 -> This sequence incorrectly begins with assignment of tasks before even identifying what work needs to be done, making it completely illogical.

Hence, Option 1: (A), (B), (C), (D) -> The organizing process must follow this natural progression: First, identify and divide all work into activities (A). Second, group similar activities into departments (B). Third, assign specific tasks to individuals within those departments (C). Finally, establish reporting relationships to create a clear chain of command (D). This sequence ensures systematic and logical organization structure development. -> correct
