Interactions between departments of different levels of hierarchy are named “co-ordination” (Mesarovic, Mako, Takahara, 1970). This paper deals with the coordination as the “vertical” informational interfaces between the units called “elementary management cycles” which compose the structure of managing process.</p><p>The taxonomy of co-ordination processes presented in this paper is based on the decomposition of information processing at managing in so called the Space of Processes (Gudas, 1991).</p></abstract><kwd-group><label>Keywords</label><kwd>enterprise management</kwd><kwd>hierarchy of information units</kwd><kwd>levels of hierarchy</kwd><kwd>co-ordination in the Space of Processes</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front></article>
