Decentralization:
In order to organize and control the activities of an organization, the various types of activities are divided or departmentalized so that each activity can be keenly analyzed and their deviations from the budgets can be fixed. Also, it enables speedy decision making relating to a particular department. When the departments are divided the decision making authority is also divided and therefore speedy decisions can be taken for day to day operations without waiting for ultimate authorities to take part in every single activity or operation of the company.
