Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Modular activities are those that can be easily separated from the rest of the operations and require lower levels of coordination. They can be outsourced or performed independently without affecting the overall functioning of the organization. On the other hand, non-modular activities require higher levels of coordination and are closely tied to the core operations of the organization. They cannot be easily separated and outsourced without affecting the overall functioning of the organization. Therefore, activities that are modular in nature require lower levels of coordination than others to be successful.
