Nature and significance of Management

Question:

Which feature of coordination integrates the efforts of different departments and different levels?

Options:

Pervasive function

Continuous process

Deliberate function

Ensure utility of action

Correct Answer:

Pervasive function

Explanation:
Coordination is required at all levels of management due to the interdependent nature of activities of various departments. It integrates the efforts of different departments and different levels. The purchase, production and sales departmental efforts have to be coordinated by Smita for achieving organisational objectives harmoniously. The purchase department is responsible for procuring fabric. This then becomes the basis of the activities of the production department and finally sales can take place. If fabric purchased is of an inferior quality or is not according to the specifications of the production department, further sales will also decline. In the absence of coordination there is overlapping and chaos instead of harmony and integration of activities.
