Marking-scheme solution
(i)
Coordination
Co-ordination is the process by which a manager synchronises the
activities of different departments towards the achievement of a
common goal.
(ii)
Importance of co-ordination:
(i)
With the growth in size and the number of people employed
by the organisation increases, coordination is needed to integrate
their efforts and activities and to harmonize individual goals and
organisational goals.
(ii)
Functional differentiation in an organisation leads to
creation of departments, divisions and sections like finance,
production etc. and coordination helps in linking the activities of
various departments.
(iii)
Modern organisations have high degree of specialisation
where specialists usually think that they only are qualified to
evaluate, judge and decide and do not take advice from others
leading to conflict. Coordination helps in reconciling their
differences.
