Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Integrating mechanisms are tools or practices that are implemented to improve communication, coordination and collaboration across different functions and divisions within an organization. This can include cross-functional teams, project management tools and software, regular meetings between different departments or functions, and other strategies aimed at integrating different parts of an organization to improve overall performance. Merged networks and hierarchical structures may be part of an organization's overall structure, but they do not specifically refer to tools used to increase communication and coordination. Corporate intranets are a type of integrating mechanism, but they only represent a single type of tool and do not encompass all of the different strategies used to enhance communication and collaboration within an organization.
