Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decentralisation refers to the delegation of decision-making authority to lower-level managers or employees. It allows for faster decision making and can increase employee motivation and engagement. In contrast, a centralised organisation is one in which decision-making authority is held at the top of the organisation. Responsibility accounting is a management control system that assigns responsibility for various aspects of organisational performance to different departments or individuals. A corporation is a type of business entity that is legally distinct from its owners.
