DECENTRALISATION ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE
• Organisational structure refers to the levels of
management and division of responsibilities within an organisation. • This structure is often presented in the form of an organisational chart. DELEGATION
• Delegation means giving a subordinate the
authority to perform particular tasks. • It is very important to remember that it is the authority to perform a task which is being delegated, not the final responsibility. Advantages of delegation for the manager • Subordinate feels trusted • Some managers are reluctant to delegate • Managers loses some control over subordinates • Allows managers to give time to other issues
Advantages of delegation for the subordinate
• Makes work more interesting • Gives authorithy to others to take decissions and perform tasks • Staff development increases job satisfaction A reduction in direct Increasing trust of workers control by supervisor and DELEGATION MUST MEAN: by supervisors and managers once tasks are managers done by workers ORGANISATION CHART
• Chain of command is the structure in an
organisation which allows instructions to be passed down from senior management to lower levels of management. • The span of control is the number of suborninates working directly under a manager. Advantages of an organisation chart • The chart shows how everybody is linked together in the organisation. • Every individual can see their own position in the organisation. • It shows the links and relationship between different departments within the organisation. • Everyone is in a department and this gives them a sense of belonging. There is therefore an important link between the span of control and the chain of command. The longer the chain of command, the taller will be the organisational structure and the narrower the span of control. When the chain of command is short, the organisation will have wider spans of control. Advantages of short chains of command • Communication is quicker and more accurate. • Top managers are less remote from the lower level of the hierarchy. • Spans of control will be wider. FUNCTIONAL DEPARTMENT
• Line managers have direct authority over
subordinates in their department. They are able to take decisions in their departmental area. • Staff manager are specialist advisers who provide support to line managers and to the Board of Director. DECENTRALISATION
• A decentalised management structure means that
many decisions are not taken at the centre of the business but are delegated to a lower level of management. • A celtralised management structure means that most decissions are taken at the centre, or higher levels of management. Advantages of a decentralised management structure • Desicions are taken by managers. • The manager will feel more trusted and will have more satisfaction from their work. • Decisions can be made much more quickly senior managers have to be given all the information before making a decision. Different form of decentralisation • Functional desentralisation. 1. Human resources 2. Marketing 3. Finance 4. Production • Federal desentralisation. • Regional desentralisation. • Desentralisation by project team. THANK YOU
