Types of coordination

Types of coordination

    • Pooled interdependence – It involves minimum coordination as the units are not directly related. Different sub units are linked by pooled interdependence and make the coordination to the total enterprise.
      Ex. Independent project teams (sub units) connected to head office
    • Sequential interdependence – In this case the later units depend on the earlier ones (as in flow chart). It requires greater coordination.
    • Reciprocal interdependence – In this case the output of one unit is the input of the other and vice versa
