Decentralization |
The correct answer is option 2- Decentralisation. Decentralisation explains the manner in which decision making responsibilities are divided among hierarchical levels. Put simply, decentralisation refers to delegation of authority throughout all the levels of the organisation. 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. When decisions taken by the lower levels are numerous as well as important an organisation can be regarded as greatly decentralised. |
