HE COORDINATION OF WORK - Coordination of work can be achieved in two ways:
1. By organization – by interrelating the subdivisions of work by allotting them to men who are placed in a structure of authority, so that the work may be co-ordinated by orders of superiors to subordinates, reaching from top to the bottom of the entire enterprise.
2. By dominance of an idea – this requires the development of intelligent singleness of purpose in the minds and wills of those who are working together as a group, so that each worker will of his own accord fit his task into the whole with skill and enthusiasm.
These two principles of coordination should both be utilized to be effective. Size and time are the great limiting factors in the development of co-ordination. The question of coordination must be approached with different emphasis in small and in large enterprises; in simple and in complex situations; in stable and in new or changing organizations.
