Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of organizational structure, specifically the long-debated topic of centralization versus decentralization. The author challenges traditional thinking on this subject, arguing that the focus should not be solely on achieving decentralization without disrupting optimal system performance. Instead, the book advocates for a more nuanced approach, considering the potential benefits of decentralization, such as increased information flow and employee motivation. Drawing upon the work of leading scholars in economics, operations research, and management science, the book examines the limitations of existing models and proposes a new framework for analyzing organizational structures. The author introduces a decision model for a hypothetical industrial organization, allowing for the comparison of various degrees of decentralization and their impact on efficiency and profitability. Through the use of a capital budgeting framework, the book explores the critical interplay between information, motivation, and initiative within a decentralized organization. It examines how these factors can influence decision-making and ultimately shape the success of a business. This book offers invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities of implementing decentralized organizational structures, ultimately empowering managers to make informed decisions about the optimal structure for their own organizations.
