Question:

Which of the following statements is true?

Options:

Delegation is optional, whereas Decentralization is essential to get things done by others.

In delegation, management exercises minimal control and in decentralization, control rests on supervisor.

Delegation is individual and Decentralisation is totalistic in nature.

Delegation is a step towards the formation of semi-autonomous units whereas Decentralisation creates superior- subordinate relationships.

Correct Answer:

Delegation is individual and Decentralisation is totalistic in nature.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Delegation is individual and Decentralisation is totalistic in nature.

Delegation refers to the transfer of authority by one individual (usually a superior) to another (a subordinate) — hence, it is individual in nature.
Decentralisation refers to the systematic delegation of authority throughout the organisation — it affects the entire structure, making it totalistic in nature.
