On page 14 of Notes,
It is saying that Decentrilization speeds up organisation's decision making as decision is not passed down through hierarchy from top management to lower.
However, I think it speed decision making as one person or one office is responsible. If there would have been 2-3 divisions and decentralization so it would be slow as there would be conflicts and then decision would be taken.
Please help me with this.

The conflicts you talk about are recognised as a potential disadvantage of decentralisation eg two divisions can decide on policies which don't match. However, there initial decision-making is fast. I accept that sorting out the conflicts can take time.
Got that professor. Thank you.
