Answer:
Decentralization
Explanation:
It is a process through which the authority of an organization is delegated to lower managers. The lower managers are given more responsibility which is the opposite of the centralization in which the decision making power is concentrated in the hands of a few people. The top-level managers take all the decisions in the organization with centralized authority.
In decentralized authority, lower managers can decide on their own as long as it is in sync with the overall goal of the organization, but the authority to take static decisions and control and coordination remain in the hands of top-level managers.
