Solution
Importance of Coordination: The reasons that bring out the importance or the necessity for coordination are:
- Growth of the organisation: As an organization grows, so does the number of employees, each with their own set of goals and culture. As a result, it is critical to coordinate individual ambitions with organizational goals.
- Functional Differentiation: All departments and divisions may have their own goals, policies, and working methods. All departments and persons, however, are interrelated and cannot function in isolation. As a result, coordination is required to connect the actions of several departments.
- Specialisation: Most specialists have a sense of superiority and prioritize their field of work. Coordination is to sequence and combine all the specialists' efforts into a unified whole.
