Decentralisation refers to the distribution of decision-making powers from the top of a business to various levels within it. It means allowing managers and employees at different levels of a business to make decisions, rather than concentrating all decision-making at the top.
This approach can lead to increased flexibility, quicker decision-making and employee empowerment, as those closer to the operations and customers have more control over their respective areas. However, it also requires effective communication and coordination to ensure that the overall objectives of the business are met.
