Arrange the following steps of organizing in a logical manner. (A) Grouping similar activities (B) Determining the key activities (C) Assigning responsibilities (D) Coordinating relationships Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
Option 1 -> (B), (C), (A), (D) - This sequence assigns responsibilities before grouping activities, which is illogical as you cannot assign duties without first organizing tasks into meaningful groups. Option 2 -> (A), (C), (B), (D) - This sequence groups activities before determining what the key activities are, which is impractical as you need to identify activities before grouping them. Option 3 -> (B), (A), (C), (D) - This follows the natural organizing process: first identify key activities, then group similar ones, assign responsibilities to individuals/departments, and finally coordinate relationships between them. Option 4 -> (C), (B), (D), (A) - This sequence assigns responsibilities before even determining key activities, which makes the organizing process impossible to execute properly. Hence, Option 3: (B), (A), (C), (D) -> The logical sequence of organizing begins with determining key activities needed to achieve objectives, followed by grouping similar activities into departments/units, then assigning responsibilities to appropriate personnel, and finally coordinating relationships to ensure smooth workflow and cooperation -> correct
