Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> This incorrectly matches Planning with establishing standards (which is Controlling) and Controlling with communication (which is Directing).
Option 2 -> This correctly matches: Planning with selecting alternatives, Organizing with hierarchical structure, Directing with communication/supervision, and Controlling with standards and measurement.
Option 3 -> This incorrectly matches Planning with hierarchical structure (which is Organizing) and Organizing with standards (which is Controlling).
Option 4 -> This incorrectly matches Planning with communication (which is Directing) and Controlling with hierarchical structure (which is Organizing).
Hence, Option 2: (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I) -> Planning involves selecting alternatives to achieve goals efficiently and effectively. Organizing focuses on deciding hierarchical structures and arranging resources. Directing is about communicating effectively and supervising employees. Controlling involves establishing standards of performance and measuring current performance against those standards. -> correct
