What is Vertical Coordination?

Vertical coordination describes a process whereby teamwork is harnessed in an organization in order to attain success in a project. This process entails techniques put together by employees within vertical hierarchical levels to accomplish a task. Hence, the employees involved do not have to be on that same level.
