What is Decentralization?
What is decentralization? Decentralization refers to a specific form of
organizational structure where the top management delegates decision-making
responsibilities and daily operations to middle and lower subordinates. The top
management can thus concentrate on taking major decisions with greater time
abundance. Business houses often feel the requirement of decentralization to
continue efficiency in their operation. Today, we are going to take a look at the
basic advantages and disadvantages of decentralization from an organizational

Lower level managers can alter production schedules and work assignments
with adequate authority. They can even take disciplinary actions and

Top executives can focus more on more on the executive level work like
planning and decision making if the lower level employees take all the
responsibilities on their own. This relieves their workload which eventually is
for the greater good of the organisation.
Disadvantages of Decentralization

Expensive

organisation so they work harder to achieve all the organisational objective. In
return, they have to be paid more which sometimes proves to be very expensive
for the company.
