Hints

Open one hint at a time and try again before the next.

Hint 1

What happens to subordinates who are allowed to decide?

Hint 2

Think of speed: how many levels must approve a decision?

Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. Develops initiative among subordinates: When lower levels are free to take their own decisions they learn to rely on their own judgement, which builds self-reliance and confidence.

    1 mark

  2. Develops managerial talent for the future: Subordinates get a chance to prove their abilities, creating a pool of trained people to fill higher positions by promotion.

    1 mark

  3. Quick decision making: Decisions are taken close to the point of action without approval from many levels, so they are faster and less distorted. (Also: relief to top management, facilitates growth, better control.)

    1 mark

Answer: Decentralisation develops initiative, develops managerial talent for the future and speeds up decision making (also relief to top management, growth, better control).
