Question

Write short note on Nature of Co-ordinating.

Answer 1

The purpose of organising, division of work, departmentation, span of management, centralisation and decentralisation, delegation of authority and organisation structure is to optimally achieve the organisational goals. This is possible if departments of the organisation are co-ordinated in a unified direction.

Once the activities of the organisation are broken into smaller units which are re-grouped into departments (on the basis of similarity of features), managers need to coordinate the activities of these departments by communicating organisational goals to each department, setting departmental goals and linking the performance of each department with others so that all the departments collectively contribute towards the organisational goals. Coordination is “the process of linking the activities of various departments of the organisation.”

It is “the process of integrating the objectives and activities of the separate units (departments or functional areas) of an organisation in order to achieve organisational goals efficiently.”
