Question : Name the most critical step in the process of planning.
Option 1: Implementing the plan
Option 2: Developing the plan
Option 3: Selecting the best possible course of action
Option 4: None of the above
Correct Answer: Selecting the best possible course of action
Solution :
The best alternative is selected but as such there is no mathematical formula to select the best alternative. Selecting the best alternative is most critical step in the planning process, because if wrong plan is selected then whole process will go in wrong direction.
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
