Coordination
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A concise and clear general definition is from (Malone and Crowston, 1991): "Coordination is the act of managing interdependencies between activities."
Coordination or co-ordination is "the ability to reduce all-together, in oder to generate an only one all." (Alessio Bissoli, 2006)
Coordination, co-ordination is the regulation of diverse elements into an integrated and harmonious operation. Coordination means integrating or linking together different parts of an organization to accomplish a collective set of tasks.
In chemistry, a coordination compound refers usually to metal complexes of various kinds.
Co-ordinating can also involve the organization of a group. It can be used in politics, for coherent action of different public administration in the same country (i.e. between a state and a federal administration).
