Identify the correct steps involved in the process of organizing.

(A) Allotment of Duties

(B) Establishing authority and reporting relationship

(C) Departmentalization

(D) Identification and Grouping of work

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Option 1 -> This sequence starts with allotment of duties before identifying the work itself, which is illogical in the organizing process.

Option 2 -> This sequence also begins with allotment of duties before proper identification and grouping of work, making it an incorrect order.

Option 3 -> This follows the logical sequence: first identifying and grouping work, then creating departments, followed by allotting duties, and finally establishing authority relationships.

Option 4 -> This sequence starts with departmentalization before even identifying what work needs to be done, which is impractical.

Hence, Option 3: (D), (C), (A), (B) -> The organizing process follows a systematic order: (D) Identification and Grouping of work - First, identify what needs to be done and group similar activities; (C) Departmentalization - Create departments based on grouped activities; (A) Allotment of Duties - Assign specific responsibilities to individuals/departments; (B) Establishing authority and reporting relationship - Finally, define the hierarchical structure and reporting lines. This sequence ensures a logical flow from work analysis to structural implementation -> correct
