  • B.Peter Drucker
  • C.Frederick Taylor
  • D.Luther Gulick

Answer: B

The term MBO was first used by Peter Drucker.

Drucker introduced 'management by objectives' in The Practice of Management (1954). In MBO, managers and staff agree on objectives, and performance is judged by how far those objectives are met.

Henri Fayol set out the functions and principles of management, Frederick Taylor developed scientific management, and Luther Gulick coined the acronym POSDCORB for the functions of an executive. None of them introduced MBO.
