The correct answer is Subjective. **(i) Concept Identified:** Coordination.
**Explanation:** Coordination is the process of integrating and synchronizing the efforts of different departments (like Production and Sales) and individuals to ensure unity of action towards achieving organizational goals. It acts as a binding force to resolve departmental conflicts.

**(ii) Importance of Coordination (any two):**
