Centralisation in organization

Centralization in an organization refers to the concentration of decision-making authority at the top levels of management, where key decisions are made by a few individuals or a single entity. This structure can lead to consistent decision-making and streamlined processes but may also stifle creativity and responsiveness among lower-level employees. While centralization can enhance control and coordination, it may limit the ability to adapt quickly to changes in the market or customer needs. Balancing centralization with some degree of decentralization can often yield better organizational agility and employee engagement.
