Objective Centralization is the process of systematically retaining power and authority in the hands of higher-level managers. On the other hand, decentralization is the process of systematically delegating power and authority throughout the organization to middle and lower level managers. Keeping these definitions in mind, consider the following two scenarios. Scenario Scenario 1 – You’re the top manager in a large organization with a long and successful history of centralized operations. You have decided to make the firm more decentralized. Scenario 2 – Assume the exact opposite of the situation in scenario 1. You still occupy the top spot in your organization, but this time you’re going to centralize operations in the organization that has always been decentralized. Deliverables 1. For Scenario 1, list the major reasons why you have made this choice and list the barriers to decentralization that you foresee. 2. For scenario 2, list the major reasons why you have made this choice and list the barriers to centralization that you foresee. 3. In your opinion, which scenario would be easier to implement in a real-world scenario? Explain your reasoning. 4. Given a choice of starting your career in a company that is either highly centralized or highly decentralized, which would you prefer? Why? Follow reporting and assignment guidelines. Do not produce a Q & A formatted report, instead embed the answers in a logical sentence and paragraph manner.
