Synopsis
Excerpt from A Taxonomy of Organizational Dependencies and Coordination Mechanisms
Van de Ven, Delbecq and Koenig (1976) identify three modes of coordinating work activities impersonal (plans and rules), personal (vertical supervision) and group (formal and informal meetings) and discuss situational factors, including interdependency, that might determine which are used. They build upon Thompson's (1967) view of dependency, adding a fourth, team arrangements, in which tasks are worked on jointly and simultaneous (rather than being passed back and forth). They hypothesize that.
