Pooled interdependence: -

It exists where there is minimal direct contact between individuals or groups performing an activity. Work does not flow between activities rather the results of the activities are “pooled” at a a higher level in the organisation. Each member of a planning staff may be individually assign the task of investigation and preparing a forecast on a specific domain of the organisation’s environment.. After each member has performed the task, forecasts are submitted to the vice-president strategic planning who has the task of integrating them into a broader long-range plan.

Co-ordination is most readily achieved through standardization eg. have rules and regulations, imposing direct supervision and creating training programs. Rules and guidelines for each task performed separately there could be deadlines for the submission of the reports to the vice-president.
