Sometimes the two TERMS ‘coordination’ and ‘c REVEALS that these two terms do not imply the same thing. There is, in fact, a considerable difference between the two. Cooperation signifies the DESIRE or willingness of people within the organisation to help one another. It is largely the result of voluntary attitudes and spirit of fellow-feeling on the part of organis-ational people or groups of people. By contrast, coordination cannot be achieved voluntarily by the participation of a group of people within the organisation. It requires something more than the willingness or the desire of the persons extending cooperation to one another. Nobel Lau-reate Herbert Simon writes: “Cooperation will be ineffective — will not reach its goal, whatever the intention of the PARTICIPANTS — in the absence of coordination”.

D. McFarland has pointed out the difference between coordination and co-operation thus :

“Cooperation is far. More inclusive term embaracing the idea of coopera-tion. Cooperation is mere willingness of individuals to help each other. It cannot be a satisfactory substitute for coordination.

Cooperation is for the most part the result of voluntary attitudes on the part of people in an Coordination, on the other hand, cannot be voluntarily ensured by a number of cooperating persons. Coordination is a STATE of affairs which an executive brings about through deliberate action on his part. Cooperation is a valuable element in coordination but cannot substitute for it.”
