*Q2*

1. Top management:

Top management is an important part of an organization. The job of top management to take important decision related to the organization and also to listen to the complaints of the employees of the organization and provide a solution to them.

#2. Authority to make a decision is in the hand of top management only:

There are different levels of management in an organization to run the organization smoothly, but still, the power to make all important decisions about the organization lies in the hands of the top management and rest, or level of management is supposed to follow the decision taken by the top management.

#3. Information flows from the upper level to lower levels:

the organizations where the centralization process is followed, the information flows from the upper level of management to lower level of management.

There are flaws in this process as lower management can’t challenge the decision of top management even if they don’t like the decision.

#4. Longer time to make decisions:

The employees of an organization are completely dependent on the decision made by the top management. Sometimes, even if the lower management has effective solutions, they can’t implement them without getting approval from the upper management.

AS centralization results in slow decision making. It is not suitable for large organizations and makes the decision process complicated.

However, in small organizations due to less number of employees and a few levels of management decision centralization process takes less time in the flow of information from the upper level to the lower level and the implementation.

#6. Inflexible in nature:
