Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Centralization refers to the degree to which decision-making is concentrated within an organization. It refers to how much authority and decision-making power is held by a small group of top-level managers or executives, as opposed to being distributed across different levels and departments within the organization. Formalization refers to the degree to which standardized procedures and rules are used to govern behavior within an organization, while differentiation refers to the degree of specialization and division of labor within an organization. "Simplicity" is not a relevant term in this context.
