Solution:
Decentralization is the process of disbursing authority and tasks to those who are at lower levels in the organizational hierarchy.
Explanation of Solution
- Decentralization takes care of this problem by ensuring delegation of work to those at middle and lower levels of management and making them accountable for the same. This can result in efficient utilization of resources, pooling of mental faculties of people at the same level, and also acts as an incentive to perform better.
