- Title
ACHIEVING PRODUCTIVE SYNERGY: INTEGRATING DEPARTMENTS INTO A COMPANY.
- Authors
Tjosvold, Dean
- Abstract
Collaboration between departments and divisions is critical for companies to use their resources successfully. Many executives are experimenting with liaison officers, project teams, and matrix designs. However, groups must believe that their goals are cooperative to use these procedures. Common tasks, shared rewards, supportive attitudes, and shared values develop motivating cooperative goals for organizational units. Case studies illustrate how cooperative goals and coordination devices integrate departments into a company.
