Interdependence: A relation between managerial objectives that occurs because of a decision to use resources
to achieve one objective that affects the amount or quality of resources required to achieve other objectives.
The concept of interdependence highlights the criticality of understanding the qualitative dimensions of
an organization holistically. For example, opening a new plant, Plant B, may require the transfer of talented
people from existing Plant A to help train the new workforce and establish operations quicker. This will have
a direct impact on the productivity and costs of Plant A that will be apparent to managers but may be difficult
to quantify.
