Modern enterprises use " division of labor", "specialization" and "departmentalization" as organizing principles. This leads to the scattering of activities needed to produce one product- say car into many departments. One department produces Chassis, the next paints it and the third fits wheels and tyres and so on. In other words, departments depend on each other to complete production.
