Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As organizations become more flexible and responsive to environmental trends, there is a distinct shift toward decentralized decision making. This allows for quicker responses to changes and better utilization of specialized knowledge and expertise across the organization. Centralized decision making, where all decisions are made at the top levels, can create bottlenecks and slow down the decision-making process. Concentrated and departmentalized decision making are not common terms used in relation to decision making in organizations.
