Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct.

Correct Answer:

Both Assertion (A) and reasoning (R) are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

The correct answer is: Option 1: Both Assertion (A) and Reasoning (R) are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

Assertion (A): Coordination between sales and production departments is essential in any organization. This is true because:
  • Sales understands customer demand and what products are selling well.
  • Production is responsible for manufacturing the products.
  • Reasoning (R): All units of an organization should work towards the same goals through coordinated efforts. This is a general principle of organizational management. Effective coordination between departments ensures that resources are used efficiently and organizational goals are achieved.

    • In this case, the reasoning (R) explains why coordination between sales and production, specifically mentioned in the assertion (A), is important. They both contribute to the overall success of the organization by fulfilling customer needs through production and sales activities.

    NCERT Text:

    "Unity of Direction: All the units of an organisation should be moving towards the same objectives through coordinated and focused efforts. Each group of activities having the same objective must have one head and one plan. This ensures unity of action and coordination. For example, if a company is manufacturing motorcycles as well as cars then it should have two separate divisions for both of them. Each division should have its own incharge, plans and execution resources. On no account should the working of two divisions overlap."
