Coordination
समन्वय
In Class 12 Business Studies, this topic explains coordination as the process of integrating the efforts of individuals and departments so that organisational goals are achieved effectively. Students learn why coordination is considered the essence of management, how it creates unity of action and direction, and why it is continuous, pervasive, deliberate and the responsibility of every manager. The topic also connects coordination with planning, organising, staffing, directing and controlling in the chapter Nature and Significance of Management.
