Summary Introduction

To Determine:

Benefit of decentralized decision making in an organization

Introduction:

When fast changing national business environments put a premium on local responsiveness, here decentralized decision making plays a crucial role. Since subsidiary managers are in close contact with the local business environment it helps in meeting the needs and preferences of the local buyers.
