Coordination — The Essence of Management
• A manager has to perform five interrelated
functions in the process of managing an
organisation which is a system made up of
different interlinked and interdependent
subsystems.

• A manager has to link these diverse groups
towards the achievement of a common goal

• It is the common thread that runs
through all activities such as
purchase, production, sales, and
finance to ensure continuity in the
working of the organisation.

• Coordination is sometimes considered a separate function of management.
• It is however, the essence ( important quality) of management, for achieving harmony among individual efforts towards the accomplishment of group goals.
• Each managerial function is an exercise contributing individually to coordination.
• Coordination is implicit and inherent in all functions of an organisation.

• The process of coordinating the activities of an organisation begins at the planning stage itself.
• Top management plans for the entire organisation.
• According to these plans the organisational structure is developed and staffed.
• In order to ensure that these plans are executed according to plans direction is required.

• Any discrepancies between actual and realised
activities are then taken care of at the stage of
controlling.
• It is through the process of
coordination that a manager ensures
the orderly arrangement of individual
and group efforts to ensure unity of
action in the realisation of common
objectives.

• Coordination therefore involves
synchronisation of the different
actions or efforts of the various units
of an organisation.
• This provides the requisite amount, quality,
timing and sequence of efforts which ensures
that planned objectives are achieved with a
minimum of conflict.

• Coordination is working together by
Interpreting programmes, plans, policies and practices
Providing growth and development of employees
Keeping in touch with employees and a sense of perspective Providing the climate for
success
Providing for the free flow of information

Creating the Right Work Climate
• It is mainly through the ability to create the
climate for success that a manger can step up
employee efforts to the point where
employees approach their potential .
• Without a proper climate, none of the skills
and principles of management can flower and
bear fruits.
