Question : Pervasiveness of planning indicates that planning:
Option 1: Is a top management function
Option 2: Extends throughout the organisation
Option 3: Is a future oriented activity
Option 4: Is the first element of management process
Correct Answer: Extends throughout the organisation
Solution :
Planning is required at all levels of the management and in all types of organisations. It is not a function restricted to top level managers only but planning is done by managers at every level. That why pervasiveness of planning indicates that planning extends throughout the organisation.
Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
