Identify the correct sequence of steps in the Planning Process:
(A) Evaluating alternative courses
(B) Implementing the plan
(C) Selecting an alternative
(D) Follow-up action
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> This sequence suggests implementing (B) before selecting an alternative (C), which is illogical as you cannot implement without first making a selection.
Option 2 -> This follows the logical planning sequence: first evaluate alternatives (A), then select the best one (C), implement it (B), and finally follow up (D).
Option 3 -> This sequence starts with implementation (B) before evaluation (A), which contradicts the fundamental planning process where evaluation must come first.
Option 4 -> This sequence suggests selecting an alternative (C) before evaluating options (A), which is impractical as selection requires prior evaluation.
Hence, Option 2: (A), (C), (B), (D) -> The planning process logically flows from evaluating different courses of action, selecting the most suitable alternative from those evaluated, implementing the chosen plan, and finally conducting follow-up action to monitor and assess results -> correct
