Solution
No, a large sized organisation cannot be totally centralised and decentralised. With its increased size and complexity, there is a tendency to move towards decentralised decision making. The employees who are directly and closely involved with certain operations tend to have more knowledge than the top order management. So there is a need for balance between these co-existing forces.
