What is ‘coordination’? How it ‘integrates group efforts’ and ‘ensures unity of action’?
Coordination is the essence of management for the achievement of harmony of individual efforts towards the accomplishment of group goals. It is an orderly synchronisation of individual efforts in a proper manner that the organisational efforts can be achieved efficiently and effectively.
Integrates group efforts: The concept of coordination always applies to group efforts. There is no need for coordination when only single individual is working. The need for orderliness, integration arises only when more individuals are working as different individuals come from different backgrounds, have different styles of working so there is need to unify their efforts in common direction.
Ensures unity of action: Coordination always emphasises on unifying the actions of different individuals.. The main aim of every manager is to coordinate the activities and functions of all individuals to common goal.
