Abstract
The concepts of centralisation and decentralisation have been the hot topics of discussion among management academicians as well as practicing managers. There is not much consensus on the scope of these constructs; while one theorist may refer an organisational decision-making process as highly centralised, other theorists may regard it as mildly centralised. For general understanding, we may regard centralisation as concentration of power at the top level of an organisation or a society. Extreme case of centralisation is usually labelled as one-man rule. On the other hand, decentralisation refers to the extent of decisions being taken at the lower levels of an organisation or a society. In recent years, focus on decentralisation has increased as it can lead to flexible, innovative and creative management.
