Coordination is the force that binds all the other functions of management. In light of this, which of the following statement is incorrect?

Option 1 -> Coordination is indeed a deliberate and conscious function where managers intentionally plan and synchronize activities to achieve organizational goals. Option 2 -> Coordination is NOT exclusive to top-level managers. It is required at all levels of management - top, middle, and lower levels. Every manager must coordinate activities within and across departments. Option 3 -> Coordination is a continuous process that occurs throughout all organizational activities from planning to execution, not just a one-time event. Option 4 -> Coordination ensures unity of action by harmonizing individual efforts and synchronizing different activities toward common organizational objectives. Hence, Option 2 -> Coordination is the responsibility of managers at ALL levels (top, middle, and lower), not exclusively top-level managers. Each manager must coordinate within their scope of work and with other departments, making this statement incorrect -> correct
