Decentralization of the organization refers to which concept?

• A. Nominate New Supervisors
• B. Looking at all positions, and possibly redelegating authority
• C. Firing all employees and hiring new ones
• D. Eliminating some departments

Answer: (B)

Decentralization means spreading decision-making authority away from a single central point to lower levels in the organization. It involves reviewing the roles and responsibilities across all positions and possibly shifting authority downward so people closer to the work can decide and act without waiting for top approval. This matches the idea of examining every position and redelegating authority as needed. The other ideas focus on changing personnel or eliminating departments rather than distributing decision power—nominating new supervisors is about appointing people, firing and hiring is a drastic personnel overhaul, and eliminating departments reduces structure rather than spreading decision rights.
