"Coordination is needed to perform all functions of Management". Justify the statement. (-6marks)
Dear student,
Coordination is an orderly arrangement of group efforts to provide unity of action for attainment of common organisational goals. It is an essence of management. It need to be performed at all levels and in all function. It is a never ending process. It is a continuous function, it is not a job that is needed to perform once, it is performed at all steps. Coordination starts with planning and continues at all functions. The managers work continuously to achieve coordination and maintain coordination because without coordination companies cannot function efficiently.
(i) In planning coordination is required between main plan and supportive plans of different departments.
