Which is NOT a step in the planning process?
ASetting objectives
BIdentifying alternative courses
CImplementing controls
DSelecting the best alternative
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Implementing controls
1. Planning culminates in selecting the best alternative; control happens afterwards.
2. The standard steps are: set objectives, develop premises, identify and evaluate alternatives, select, formulate sub-plans, implement.
3. Implementing controls is the role of the Controlling function, not Planning.
4. Hence (C) is the function that does NOT belong to Planning.
