Action Planning Sequence for Management Objectives

The question asks for the correct sequence of steps involved in the action planning stage of implementing management objectives. Action planning involves translating broad objectives into specific, actionable steps.

Identifying the Correct Sequence

Let's analyze the logical order of the given actions:

  • (a) Choosing strategies: This is the initial step where managers decide on the methods or approaches to achieve the defined objectives.
  • (c) Allocating resources: Once strategies are selected, the necessary resources (financial, human, material) must be assigned to support these strategies.
  • (d) Assigning responsibilities: Following resource allocation, specific tasks need to be delegated to individuals or teams who will execute them.
  • (b) Scheduling activities: Finally, detailed timelines and specific activities are planned to ensure the efficient and effective utilization of allocated resources and assigned responsibilities to meet the objectives.

Therefore, the logical sequence for action planning is to first choose strategies, then allocate resources, assign responsibilities, and finally schedule specific activities.

Conclusion on Sequence

The correct sequence is (a), (c), (d), (b).

This corresponds to Option 1.
