Having closely related activities report to a single executive who has the authority and organizational clout to coordinate, integrate, and arrange for the cooperation of units under their supervision provides a clear chain of command that can effectively manage the work efforts of different units. This ensures that activities are aligned with the organization's goals and objectives while reducing conflicting efforts and duplications. It also enables swift decision-making and establishes a sense of accountability among leaders of different units. While the other options like establishing a corporate culture, having heads of support activities report to heads of primary activities, offering monetary incentives, or having frequent meetings among heads of related activities can contribute to better collaboration and coordination, they are not as effective in terms of organizational structure and holistic management of work efforts.
