Centralization facilitates effective coordination of the various organizational parts or functions in a consistent manner, as it centralizes decision-making authority at the top levels of management. Decentralization, on the other hand, distributes decision-making closer to the point of action, which provides greater flexibility to respond to change by allowing lower-level managers or different units to make decisions tailored to their specific contexts.
