CONCLUSION:-

The difference between centralization and decentralization is one of the hot topics these days. Some people think that centralization is better while others are in favor of decentralization. In ancient times, people used to run their organization in a centralized manner, but now the scenario has been changed completely due to rise in the competition where quick decision making is required and therefore many organizations opted for decentralization.

At present, most of the organisation are equipped wth both the features, as absolute centralization or decentralization is not possible. Complete centralization in an organisation not practicable because it represents that each and every single decision of the organisation is taken by the top echelon. On the other hand, full fledge decentralization is an indicator of no control over the activities of subordinates. So, a balance between these two should be maintained.
