Decentralized structure means that decision-making power is distributed among employees throughout the organization, providing a more collaborative environment. A flat structure means there are fewer levels of management with wider spans of control, allowing employees to work more closely together and make decisions more quickly. Therefore, a decentralized and flatter structure is more appropriate for encouraging collaborative decision-making.
