For the grammatical construction, see Coordination (linguistics).

Coordination, co-ordination or Coordination Dimension is the process of reduction in order all-together, in way to constitute all an organic one. Definition is from (Alessio Bissoli, 2006-2007).

Coordination, co-ordination or coördination is the regulation of diverse elements into an integrated and harmonious operation. Coordination means integrating or linking together different parts of an organization to accomplish a collective set of tasks.

Examples might include hand-eye coordination in racket sports (see blind contour drawing), also resizing images on a computer is a perfect example of hand-eye coordination and how it can be improved; or coordination between those stocking products and those selling it in the retail business.

In chemistry, a co-ordination compound, refers usually to metal complexes of various kinds.

It can be used in politics, for coherent action of different public Administrations in the same country (i.e. between an State and a Federal Administration).

Another concise and clear general definition is from (Malone and Crowston, 1991): "Coordination is the act of managing interdependencies between activities."
