    Coordination involves integrating different parts of an organization into a cohesive whole to achieve common goals. There are three key elements of coordination: easy functioning between departments, avoiding conflicts by scheduling operations in a suitable order, and developing a team spirit through unifying diverse activities. Coordination ensures unity of action among employees and departments, bringing harmony to tasks and allowing an organization to efficiently achieve its objectives. However, a lack of trust can undermine coordination by decreasing productivity and complicating processes. While coordination involves systematically integrating efforts, cooperation is a voluntary act that arises from individuals wanting to help one another.

    Assignment: Chapter 9 – COORDINATING

    1. How may “Coordinating” be defined?

    “Co-ordination is the integration of several parts into an orderly hole to achieve the
    purpose of understanding”. Co-ordination is the unification, integration, synchronization
    of the efforts of group members so as to provide unity of action in the pursuit of common
    goals.

    2. Explain the Elements of Coordination?


    There are three elements of coordination; Easy Functioning, No Conflicts, and Team
    Spirit. Easy functioning means efforts, jobs and activities of all departments must be
    balanced. In other words, the entire work must be divided and assigned to each
    department evenly. No conflicts mean scheduling of operations in a suitable order. Time
    schedules for beginning and completing the jobs must be fixed well in advance and
    efforts should be taken to complete them as per the schedule. Team Spirit refers to the
    unification of all unrelated and diverse activities in such a manner as to accomplish the
    job efficiently.

    3. How coordination affects the other function of management?

    Coordination is the function of management which ensures that different departments


    and groups work in sync. Therefore, there is unity of action among the employees,
    groups, and departments. It also brings harmony in carrying out the different tasks and
    activities to achieve the organization's objectives efficiently.

    4. Why is the lack of trust is one of the problems of coordination?

    A lack of coordination in an organization can decrease productivity, complicate


    processes and delay the completion of tasks. In order to coordinate the efforts of an
    entire organization, the organization requires a systematic integration of a process that
    creates accountability within the organization.

    5. Differentiate Coordination and Cooperation?

    Coordination is an orderly arrangement of group efforts to maintain harmony among


    individual efforts toward accomplishment of common goals. Cooperation is a voluntary
    effort of individuals to help one other. Cooperation is a voluntary act that arises out of
    informal relations with the desire to work together.
