Correct Answer: Planning comes before controlling.


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Planning comes before controlling.

In the traditional management process, planning typically comes before controlling. Planning involves setting objectives, goals, and strategies, while controlling follows to monitor and ensure that actual performance aligns with the established plans. This sequential order allows organizations like ABC Pharmaceuticals to establish a clear direction and then use control mechanisms to measure and adjust their activities to meet their planned objectives.
