Which of the following is incorrect ?

Co-ordination is an individual effort

The correct answer is option (2) : Co-ordination is an individual effort.

The incorrect statement among the options is Co-ordination is an individual effort as it is a group effort.

Coordination involves synchronisation of the different actions or efforts of the various units of an organisation.

* Coordination integrates group efforts: Coordination unifies unrelated or diverse interests into purposeful work activity. It gives a common focus to group effort to ensure that performance is as it was planned and scheduled.

* Coordination is a continuous process: Coordination is not a one-time function but a continuous process. It begins at the planning stage and continues till controlling.

* Coordination is a deliberate function: A manager has to coordinate the efforts of different people in a conscious and deliberate manner. Even where members of a department willingly cooperate and work, coordination gives a direction to that willing spirit. Cooperation in the absence of coordination may lead to wasted effort and coordination without cooperation may lead to dissatisfaction among employees.
