Coordination in management.

 What is Coordination ? 

Coordination refers to synchronising the activities of different department in the organisation towards achieving the organisational goal.

All other managerial functions are held together via coordination. It is the typical a thread that connects all activities, including procurement, production, sales, and finance, in order to maintain consistency in the organization's operations.

Coordination is occasionally seen as a stand-alone managerial task. However, maintaining harmony between individual efforts toward the achievement of group goals is essential to management.

Each managerial function is an exercise contributing individually to coordination. Coordination is implicit and inherent in all functions of an organisation.

Important Elements of coordination

1. Timing 

It involves proper scheduling of operation in suitable time and order. Timetables for starting and finishing the tasks must be established well in advance, and efforts should be made to fulfil them on time. If the organisation is able to manage timings of its operations they can complete there work on time.

2. Balancing

All departments' efforts, tasks, and activities must be balanced. In other words, the workload must be evenly distributed throughout the departments.

3. Integration 

 

Integration is the combination of all unconnected and disparate operations in a way that effectively completes the task. It integrates all the activities of the organisation towards achieving organisational goals.
