Abstract
The concepts of centralisation and decentralisation have been
the hot topics of discussion among management academicians
as well as practicing managers. There is not much consensus
on the scope of these constructs; while one theorist may refer
an organisational decision-making process as highly
centralised, other theorists may regard it as mildly
centralised. For general understanding, we may regard
centralisation as concentration of power at the top level of an
organisation or a society. Extreme case of centralisation is
usually labelled as one-man rule. On the other hand,
decentralisation refers to the extent of decisions being taken at
the lower levels of an organisation or a society. In recent
years, focus on decentralisation has increased as it can lead to
flexible, innovative and creative management
