Give the correct sequence of managerial functions listed below :
(a) Reporting
(b) Staffing
(c) Planning
(d) Organising
(e) Co-ordinating (f) Budgeting (g) Directing
Codes :
Answer: B
The managerial functions in the order of POSDCORB are planning (c), organising (d), staffing (b), directing (g), co-ordinating (e), reporting (a) and budgeting (f). This is Gulick's sequence, and it follows the logic of management: plan first, then set up the structure, fill it with people, direct them, co-ordinate the work, report on it and control costs through the budget.
The remaining options start with staffing, co-ordinating or directing before planning, and so break the order in which the functions are performed.
