Centralized Control

Centralized control refers to a system where decision-making authority and power are concentrated in a single central body or leader. In this model, this central authority makes major decisions and provides direction for the entire organization, whether it's a government, corporation, or institution. This can lead to consistent policies and streamlined operations, but it may also limit employee input and innovation. Centralized control contrasts with decentralized systems, where decision-making is distributed among various levels or departments, allowing for more local autonomy and responsiveness to specific needs.
