What is the meaning of coordinating according to Coleman and Anderson (2000)?

According to Coleman and Anderson (2000), coordinating refers to the process of aligning and integrating the activities of individuals or groups within an organization in order to achieve common goals and objectives. This involves communication, collaboration, and cooperation among different parts of the organization to ensure that everyone is working towards the same end result. Coordination is essential for effective teamwork and organizational success.

According Coleman and Anderson (2000), "coordinating" is one of the seven main properties of social capital. It involves the "active management of relationships to facilitate interaction among individuals and groups, who engage in joint ventures" (p. 21). In other words, it is the ability of social networks to facilitate communication, collaboration, and collective action.
