Positive coordination

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Positive coordination refers to a coordination between organizational units , in which the implementing organizational unit checks in which combination different decision options generate the greatest possible benefit for all actors involved . In contrast to negative coordination , this creates a potentially growing coordination effort , depending on the actors involved , which is why this type of coordination is empirically rarely found. The concept of negative or positive coordination is based on the work of Fritz W. Scharpf .
