Centralized and Decentralized Organizational Structures 2
Centralized and Decentralized Organizational Structures 2
to maximize profitability and elect an executive, who coordinates with the leadership team.
Typically, the business unit, division or city within the organization, is made up of multiple
organizational levels. Distributed organization is a hierarchy decision-making structure where
all decision-making decisions and processes are handled at the lower levels of the organization
and are adopted for the rest of the organization. The lower levels make subordinate decisions,
which are implemented on the upper levels. The organizational structure is integrated through
structures of middle management in-between the decision-making levels where all the
decisions are implemented. when leaders effectively regulate the self and the structure and
prevent competition for subordinate tasks, the organization is most likely to thrive. (Stein, M.
K. 2019)
It is not possible to conduct an uncooperative organization as this would be against its spirit
and was reprehensible. It is very common for people who are working under a centralized
organization to lack coordination. In reality, the organization functions almost the way a human
team does in that it leads each member in the right direction. In most cases, it is not possible to
have a mutual governance between members. centralized organization is a collection of
hierarchical decision-making structures that frequently support and justify the decisions of
senior managers and others who derive their authority from the agency’s authority structure.
(Giannoccaro, I. 2018)
Maintaining a decentralized structure is best for businesses that are fully active and transparent,
and where membership interests are an important element of corporate governance and
development. A well-developed mix of protocols and systems can facilitate decentralization.
In a decentralized organization, the steps to implement a new project are streamlined through
project management and informed by cost-benefit analysis. No single person decides and
executes decisions in a decentralized organization. Instead, decisions are delegated to a central
office, where appropriate, and the decentralized decision-making structure is implemented by
higher-level employees. (Stein, M. K. 2019)
