In which of the following concept decision making authority is pushed down the chain of command?

Options:

Accountability

Centralisation

Decentralisation

Responsibility

Correct Answer:

Decentralisation

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- Decentralisation.

Decentralisation explains the manner in which decision making responsibilities are divided among hierarchical levels.

Decision making authority is shared with lower levels and is consequently placed nearest to the points of action. In other words decision making authority is pushed down the chain of command.
