Consider the statements about coordination. Statement I: Coordination is a continuous process that is needed at every level of management. Statement II: Coordination is needed only when the organisation is very small and has a single department. Which is correct?

Only Statement I is correct. Coordination is a continuous, pervasive process needed at all levels of management. Its need increases with organisational size and specialisation, so it is not restricted to small single-department firms, which makes Statement II incorrect.

  1. ABoth statements are correct
  2. BOnly Statement I is correctCorrect
  3. COnly Statement II is correct
  4. DNeither statement is correct

Explanation

Coordination is pervasive and continuous, required at top, middle and lower levels. The need for it grows as size and specialisation increase, so a single-department small firm needs it least. Statement II is therefore wrong.
