Correct answer: (D) 1, 2, 3 & 4 — All four hold this view, so the answer is 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Explanation
★All four hold this view, so the answer is 1, 2, 3 and 4.
★Fayol, Follett, Gulick and Urwick belong to the classical, managerial school of administration.
★They treat administration as a generic activity governed by universal principles.
★On this view the skills of planning, organizing, coordinating and budgeting are the same everywhere.
★Gulick captured these functions in the acronym POSDCORB, drawn from Fayol's ideas.
★For them the public-private distinction does not change the core techniques of management.
★Since every listed thinker shares this generic outlook, the answer is 1, 2, 3 and 4.
