Which of the following statements about co-ordination is correct?

Co-ordination is a continuous and all-pervasive responsibility of every manager at every level. It is not a one-time exercise, not limited to large firms, and not reserved for top management, because work and conditions keep changing and each manager must align the efforts of their own team with others.

  1. AIt is needed only in large organisations and becomes unnecessary once plans are written
  2. BIt is a one-time activity performed at the start of the business year
  3. CIt is a continuous, all-pervasive responsibility of every manager at every levelCorrect
  4. DIt is the exclusive function of the top management and cannot be delegated in any form

Explanation

Co-ordination is continuous because activities change constantly, and every manager at every level must co-ordinate the work of their own subordinates. It is therefore not confined to large firms, not one-time, and not exclusive to top management.
