Centralized companies typically respond more quickly to customer needs than decentralized companies.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
A downside to centralization is that centralized companies typically respond more slowly to customer needs and have lower employee morale. Faced with today's turbulent environment, most firms are moving toward greater decentralization, pushing power to the lower levels of the organization. Employees with the power to make decisions can respond to customer needs more quickly and effectively. See 14-4: Organizing: Fitting Together the Puzzle Pieces
