Explanation
★Luther Gulick gave the 4P formula for departmental organization, so the answer is Gulick.
★The four P's are purpose, process, persons and place.
★Purpose-based organisation groups work by the goal served, such as health or defence.
★Process-based organisation groups work by the skill or technique used, such as law or accounting.
★Person or clientele based organisation serves a target group, such as social welfare or minorities.
★Place-based organisation groups work by the territory served.
★Fayol, Urwick and Mooney worked on other principles, so the 4P formula is credited to Gulick.
