Task4

Using points and examples from the lecture, explain how decentralization can have disadvantages for a company.

Listening

Listen to part of a lecture in a business class . Large companies are organized in different ways . In some large companies that have more than one branch or location , responsibility and authority are spread throughout the entire company . So instead of managers at the central headquarters making all the decisions , managers at local branches can make decisions about how to run their branches . This is known as decentralization . Decentralization can sometimes be effective for companies with multiple locations , but it also has some possible disadvantages . One disadvantage of decentralization is that decisions made by local managers can sometimes harm the overall company . When local managers make decisions , they only consider what’s best for their particular location . They don’t have to think about what’s good for the company in general . So a good decision for a local branch can sometimes be a bad decision for the company as a whole . For example , take a major clothing company with multiple stores , say there’s one store that’s not doing well . The manager may decide to spend a lot of the company’s money on advertising to attract more customers to the store . But if the central office were in control , it would probably choose to close the struggling store to save money and invest in its more successful branches . Another disadvantage of decentralization is that company policies might be carried out differently in different locations . If local managers are allowed to make decisions about policies , then policies may vary from location to location . And if the policies aren’t what customers are expecting , they may be unhappy . So back to the clothing company , say customers want to return clothing and get their money back , because it didn’t fit right or something . And most stores allow customers to do this , but one store decides not to accept returns . Customers at that store may get upset if they can’t return clothes and get their money back .

1. Listen to part of a lecture in a business class.

2. Large companies are organized in different ways.

3. In some large companies that have more than one branch or location, responsibility and authority are spread throughout the entire company.

4. So, instead of managers at the central headquarters making all the decisions, managers at local branches can make decisions about how to run their branches.

5. This is known as decentralization.

6. Decentralization can sometimes be effective for companies with multiple locations, but it also has some possible disadvantages.

7. One disadvantage of decentralization is that decisions made by local managers can sometimes harm the overall company.

8. When local managers make decisions, they only consider what’s best for their particular location; they don’t have to think about what’s good for the company in general.

9. So, a good decision for a local branch can sometimes be a bad decision for the company as a whole.

10. For example, take a major clothing company with multiple stores.

11. Say there’s one store that’s not doing well.

12. The manager may decide to spend a lot of the company’s money on advertising to attract more customers to the store.

13. But if the central office were in control, it would probably choose to close the struggling store to save money and invest in its more successful branches.

Why use “were”?

This use of “were” clarifies that the scenario is imagined or contrary to reality.

Examples for comparison

  1. Real situation:
    • “If the central office is in control, it will close the store.”
      (This describes a factual situation.)
  2. Hypothetical situation:
    • “If the central office were in control, it would close the store.”
      (This describes an imagined or contrary-to-fact situation.)

为什么用 “were”?

因此，这句话的意思是：“如果中央办公室掌控局面（但事实并非如此），它可能会选择关闭亏损的店铺。”通过使用 “were”，清楚地表明这是一个假设的、不符合事实的情况。

对比例子：

  1. 真实情况：
    • “If the central office is in control, it will close the store.”
      （如果中央办公室掌控局面，它会关闭店铺——说明这是当前事实。）
  2. 假设情况：
    • “If the central office were in control, it would close the store.”
      （如果中央办公室掌控局面，它可能会关闭店铺——但事实是中央办公室并没有掌控权。）

14. Another disadvantage of decentralization is that company policies might be carried out differently in different locations.

15. If local managers are allowed to make decisions about policies, then policies may vary from location to location.

16. And if the policies aren’t what customers are expecting, they may be unhappy.

17. So, back to the clothing company: say customers want to return clothing and get their money back because it didn’t fit right or something.

18. Most stores allow customers to do this, but if one store decides not to accept returns, customers at that store may get upset if they can’t return clothes and get their money back.

First, the professor gave two examples that the of how decentralization is harmful for the big companies. First, they run their brands and make decisions by their brands, so these decisions sometimes will can be harmful for large companies. One disadvantage is that local managers make decisions based on their specific store's needs, which can sometimes be bad for the companies because company overall. For example, if a store is not attracting many customers, the manager might spend a lot of money on advertising to try to bring in more customers. However, this decision might not be the best for the company as a whole, especially if the local central office would have chosen to close that struggling store has no instead. The second disadvantage is that policies may be different at various locations. If a store decides not to accept returns when most stores do, customers visit and they will spend money may get upset. This inconsistency can lead to make it wrong and to attract the a negative experience for customers and it's very harmful for ultimately hurt the big company. Second, it's about the police and some different local locations that can expect the return and if they return the shop, one store can't refurbish the clothes and also they will lose the money and the decisions they make might be harmful for the whole company.company's reputation.

How to describe the position Decentralization can have this correct disadvantages for a company. For example, when local managers make decisions, they may focus only on what's best for their branch without considering the overall company’s needs. This can lead to poor decisions that hurt the company as a whole. For instance, if a struggling store spends a lot on advertising instead of closing down, it might waste money that could be better spent elsewhere. Additionally, if different branches implement policies differently, customers might get confused or complete.upset. For example, if one store doesn’t accept returns while others do, customers might be unhappy with that store. Overall, while decentralization can empower local managers, it can also lead to inconsistencies and decisions that aren’t in the best interest of the entire company.

many kind of managers in different store and you will have In a company with decentralization, local managers can make different decisions and they have that might not be good for the overall company. For example, if a store is struggling, the local manager might spend money on advertising to attract more customers. However, the central office might have chosen to close the store to save money. This can lead to inconsistent policies, too. If one store doesn't allow returns while others do, customers to their store so that they can make more money and they need to carry out differently in different situation and some customers will feel might get upset if they can't return items. So, decentralization can lead to decisions that hurt the store is closed and they have to take their money back and there have many kind of managers in different store.company as a whole.

Alexander

The article lecture talks about decentralization in large companies and how it can create problems. One disadvantage is talk about some economics problem, but it's mentioned that make a advanced wage companies more respondents. It can make it local managers might make decisions that it can help are good for out of most their own branch but it's take a lot of ability and I think this companies if it can makes a lot of money not for the customerscompany as a whole. For example, if a store is struggling, the manager might spend too much on advertising instead of considering closing the store to save money. Another issue is that policies can vary from location to location, which can upset customers. If one store doesn’t allow returns while others do, customers might be unhappy if they can't return items.

The local Decentralization can have disadvantages for the a company in decentralization, because the local people will just think about managers often focus on what's best for themselves and their own branch rather than considering the overall benefit to the company. For example, if a store isn't doing well, the local manager might decide to spend a lot of money on advertising to attract customers, but this might not consider about be the company's advantages. And also, so best decision for the company can only as a whole. Instead, the central office might choose to close the struggling store to save the money. And decentralization money and invest in more successful locations. Another disadvantage is that policies may be carried out. And implemented differently across various locations. If local managers have the local people freedom to make decisions, customers might experience inconsistency. For instance, if most stores allow returns but one store does not, customers may carry out in different place or time. And the company become frustrated if they can't organize them well. And also, some of them allow some thing and can make custom offsets.return items that don't fit.

Bianca

In business classes, the professor mentioned that a large company always organize companies are organized in different ways ways, and some some things from manager in sometimes the decisions made by local brand caused a decentral. It's about decision local manager. They sometimes they managers can lead to issues with decentralization. Local managers often focus only think about what goods they have on their specific store's needs and they didn't think about may not consider the company's benefits. overall benefit to the company. For example, if a store not treat well, so they use is struggling, the manager might spend a lot of money on advertising to attract customers. However, this could be a poor decision if the central office would have preferred to ask the customer to into their store. But sometimes later they may close the store and to save the money. And second, money and invest in more successful locations. Another issue is that if the local managers implement company policies differently, it can lead to customer dissatisfaction. For instance, if most stores allow returns but one store be carried out, so does not, customers might get upset if they still lose a lot of money to this situation.can't return items that don't fit.

Amanda

In this lesson passage, we can know that the lecture, the teacher is teaching the business knowledge. There is an explains that decentralization can have disadvantages for a company. For example, if there is a local company, they have to sell some things, and branch makes decisions that only benefit itself, it might not consider what’s best for the other people, they want entire company. This can lead to buy something they want. So poor choices, like spending too much money on advertising for a struggling store instead of closing it to save resources. Also, if they produce the things the people don't need, they different branches have different policies, customers might get confused or upset. For instance, if one store doesn’t allow returns while others do, it could lead to do a bad decision. But unhappy customers. So, while decentralization can empower local managers, it can also create inconsistencies and harm the company has to choose to save the money. They can get the money back from the customers, and so it is a control.overall.

Gloria

About Decentralization can have some disadvantages for a company. For example, when local managers make decisions, they might only think about what's best for their store, not the company as a whole. This can lead to problems, like if one store spends a lot of money on advertising while another store is struggling. Also, if different branches have different policies, it can confuse customers. For instance, if one store doesn't allow returns while others do, customers might get upset. So, while decentralization can have disadvantages help local branches, it can also create issues for the company. About why, about how decentralization can have disadvantages for the company. First, I think...overall company.

KevinCai

In the lesson in passage, the lecture, it was mentioned that decentralization often happens occurs in the company's companies with more than one brand branch or location. The decentralization Decentralization has many several disadvantages. First, it may happen from decisions made by local managers can sometimes negatively impact the decisions by the overall company. For example, a local managers, and the decision will make it hard manager might decide to spend too much money on advertising to attract customers, which could lead to financial issues for the companies. For example, company as a whole. Instead, the company may close. They may put too much time on advising and attract their customers, and some of them may central office might choose to close their a struggling store to save money. However, and second, Second, decentralization can lead to inconsistencies in policy implementation across different locations. For instance, if one store decides not to accept returns while others do, customers may be unhappy if they can't return items that don't fit. This can harm the decentralization sometimes happens when carrying out different policies. Also, as a close company, as an example, they may return.company's reputation.

Clara

The professor says explains that decentralization has some disadvantages for companies. It One issue is possible for them to run their company and spread all the detection. And he used an example for a that local manager. They managers often choose focus only on what's best for the their specific location, so it which can lead to poor decisions for the overall company. For example, a bad decision. First, it can store more products, so they use much local manager might spend a lot of money on how advertising to attract customers to a struggling store. However, if the central office were in charge, they might decide to close that store to save money and invest in more consumers. The second successful locations. Another disadvantage is that policies might be applied differently at different locations. If a store decides not to accept returns while others do, customers might get upset if they can't return products. So, decentralization can carry out with no location, so if the consumer cannot return money, they can be upset and return the product back. create inconsistencies that frustrate customers. That's all for now. Thank you.

Trinity

The professor list mentioned two insights about why the main disadvantages of decentralization have disadvantages for gambling. companies. First, the local managers just think about how often focus only on what's best for them. They don't consider their specific branch, without considering the gambling overall health of the company. This can lead to decisions that might benefit one location but harm the company as a whole. For example, a manager might spend too much on advertising to attract customers to a struggling store instead of closing it and investing in more successful locations. Second, if local managers have the power to implement policies, those policies might differ from one location to another. This inconsistency can frustrate customers, especially if they just want to save money and help the economy improve. The second example is expect certain services, like return policies, that the government has large power.aren't honored at all stores.

Rachel

The lecture is talking about discusses two disadvantages that of decentralization make to the company. Most of for companies. Many large companies operate with a central brand but may have one brand and maybe they will have some different local sources. branches. Firstly, some local managers cannot know might not be aware of the overall situation of other sources' situation and they will branches, leading them to make some decisions that could harm the company as a whole. For example, a local manager might decide to invest heavily in advertising for a struggling store without considering whether that’s the best use of the company's resources. Secondly, when local managers are allowed to set policies, there can be inconsistencies between locations. If one store decides not to accept returns while others do, customers may be harm to the general company or the other local company. Secondly, get frustrated if the managers have the chance to make policy,they can't return items as expected. These issues show how decentralization can negatively impact a company's overall operations.

Emily

First, the dissenters Decentralization can have disadvantages for a disadvantage for them. It's company in a couple of ways. First, when local managers make decisions, they might only think about what's best for them when they choose things. And second, their specific location, which can be bad for the different lines in different competitions compare each of company overall. For example, if a store is struggling, the things. If they use manager might spend a lot of money, money on advertising instead of considering if the store should be closed. Second, if each location has different policies, it can confuse customers. For instance, if most stores allow returns but one store doesn't, customers might get upset when they will get back.can't return items.

Bill

In this the lecture, we learn the managing the company, and we learn how to run the company's agents. First, these learned that decentralization can have some disadvantages for a company. One disadvantage is that local managers might make decisions that are the versions good for their specific branch but not for the company like as a whole. For example, a store that is struggling might spend a lot on advertising, but the opposite cost central office might decide to close it instead to save money. Another disadvantage is that policies might be applied differently at different locations. If one store doesn't allow returns while others do, customers might get upset. So, while decentralization allows for local decision-making, it can also lead to inconsistencies and this company is poor overall decisions for the most important part, and second, the decisions may close to the best price, and the greater function to produce it, and third, the best intervention is don't have the companion and they can't do following it and to use it for now.company.

Nina

The lecture illustrates explains that decentralization has some disadvantages and disconceptions by giving an example about the for companies. The first One disadvantage is about local managers. The that local managers may pay highly attention focus too much on their specific locations and not consider the overall company. For example, if a local store is struggling, the manager might decide to their locations. In that case, they will not pay attention spend a lot on advertising to entire companies. And also, if their story is not wrongly revealed, attract customers. However, the local managers will choose to pay more money to appeal to the customers, such as advertising, while another one just will choose central office might have chosen to close the that store in order to save the money. And also, for the policies, because of the different locations, maybe the decentralization, the local managers will money and invest in more successful locations. Another disadvantage is that policies might be more suitable for the policies, applied differently across locations. If one store decides not to accept returns while the others maybe will make the consumer unhappy. Also, do, customers might get upset if the consumer doesn't get their money, they will be unhappy too.can't return items. This inconsistency can lead to dissatisfaction among customers.

Tracy

commonly more than one brand, In large companies with multiple branches, decentralization can have some disadvantages. For instance, local managers might focus too much on their specific location and not consider what’s best for the manager will discuss how to brand around, and it will avoid location possible disadvantages. Locals are more care about the positions and don't feel the benefit for companies. company overall. The lecturer give gave an example. A example of a clothing store has that spends a lot of advertisement on advertising to attract customers, but if it’s not in a customer, but it's so far, so local person don't like it. But another company good location, it may not help much. Another issue is near, and it's that policies can vary from one location by locations, and it's to help local person save money, and another. For example, if one store doesn’t allow returns while others do, customers may get upset if they feel happy. But when can’t return items. This can hurt the store close, and the local person will feel upset.company’s reputation.

Stanley

For example, in the elector, a decentralized company, a manager in at a local store do some bad action for might make a company, such as poor decision that negatively impacts the overall company. If a manager lose spends too much money in on advertising to try to attract customers to a store and struggling store, the company need might end up needing to close the that store and control all secretly to save money. This could happen because the money, central office isn't aware of the local manager's decisions. Additionally, if the local manager decides not to allow returns, customers might get upset because they expect to return items if they don't fit. This inconsistency can lead to customer dissatisfaction and harm the manager need to give the money back.company's reputation.

Selina

The listening passage explains how decentralization can have disadvantages for a company. He used several examples to indicate his ideas. First, he thinks It mentions that big large companies always often have more than one bridge multiple branches, and this can affect their business working. Additionally, some how they operate. For instance, local companies managers may best choose to just close the door and save the money because they just want to think it's make decisions that are good for their business specific branch but not for the company as a whole. An example given is a clothing store that might spend too much on advertising to work. Additionally, attract customers, while the passage points out the second point about the local advantages always required central office might have chosen to retain their shops and close that store to save the money. Another point made is that different branches might implement company policies inconsistently, which can lead to customer dissatisfaction. For example, if one store decides not to accept returns while others do, customers may get upset. These are the two points that the listening point points out to indicate examples show that decentralization can have disadvantages.create challenges for a company.

Betty

There are many companies several disadvantages to decentralization in companies. For example, local managers may make decisions that have vacations are good for their workers, and it often leads to specific branch but could harm the company possible disinvalidators. The overall. One issue is that local managers might spend too much money trying to improve their branch without considering the company's financial health. This can lead to wasted resources. Additionally, if each branch has different policies, it can confuse customers. For instance, if one store doesn't allow returns while others do, customers might be unhappy. Overall, while decentralization can empower local managers, it can also create inconsistencies and producers have a bread pressure. They often spend a lot of company's money, and if they want to save money, they would be more successful. And financial issues for the company allows them COVID happiness, this issue is known.company.

Isabella

The company has more than one type multiple locations, and the managers, because of that, they make this, local managers can sometimes mismanage things. They only think about what is best for their own branch, which can harm the possible mismanagement and for overall company. For example, if a major clothing store has one location that is struggling, the local managers, they are harm manager might decide to the company and they just consider what kind spend a lot of that the company do. And for example, the major managers, one store doing well and they want money on advertising to attract more customers, so customers. However, if the central office were in control, they close, might choose to close that store to save money and for different locations, invest in the customers will more successful ones. Another issue is that policies might be happy and they applied differently across locations. For instance, if one store does not allow the customers to do return clothes, while others do, customers may become unhappy, especially if they expect to get money back.return items.

JerryTu

The decentralization Decentralization has two main disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that local company managers may might make some wrong poor decisions. For example, if a store runs badly, is struggling, the local manager may might decide to spend a lot of money on advertising to attract more customers. But the manager from customers, while the central will management might choose to close the store. And the store instead. The second disadvantage is that they will make policies can vary from one location to another. For instance, if a wrong policy. For example, if the clothing company will turn off, it may has a return the policy that allows customers with to get their money, money back, but some can't.one store decides not to accept returns, customers at that store might be upset if they can't return items that don't fit.

Angela

So decentralization with Decentralization can have some disadvantages for a company. First, local company has a difference, first of all, the location company managers can control their staff and their budgets, which sounds good, but it can lead to problems. For example, if a local store makes decisions that only benefit itself, it might hurt the company overall. Like, if a store is struggling and the manager decides to spend a lot on advertising, that could waste company money safely instead of closing the store to save resources. Also, if different stores have different policies, customers might get confused or upset. For instance, if most stores allow returns but one store doesn’t, customers might be unhappy and they can control their more clearly. And if some decentralization company buy some major company and they will pay more money for it and it will let company lose more money and some store can't return their money. So if customer to buy this, they will back their money.that could hurt the company's reputation.

Cordelia

The decentralization Decentralization can have disadvantage disadvantages for the company, because a company because, in some large companies, while many managers make decisions effective, but some effective decisions, local managers can sometimes make it harmful ones. They don't have to the companies. Because they don't need to think the things consider what is good best for the company. Just like company as a whole. For example, if there is a store that is not doing well, the storm, one storm can't well local manager might decide to get money, but the manager will spend a lot of money at on advertising to attract more customers. However, if the store, but the other will choose central office were in control, they might decide to stop the close that struggling store to save the money. The money and invest in more successful branches. Additionally, different location have a different money, locations might implement company policies differently. This can upset customers if they expect certain services, like returning items, but find that some customers, it's sad, because they can't...stores do not allow returns.

Harry

A Decentralization can have disadvantages for a large company. For example, local managers might make decisions that are good for their specific location but not for the company will have as a manager that allows whole. If a store is struggling, the local manager to do business, and might spend too much on advertising instead of closing it down, which could waste company resources. Additionally, if each location has different policies, customers might get confused or upset. For instance, if one store doesn’t allow returns while others do, customers might be unhappy. These issues can harm the manager is hard to local overall success of the company.

YukiYu

The topic is about the business as a disinterrelation, and the manager needs to make many decisions because decentralization in the market there are large conflicts between different managers and they make an example that the business, which can have some disadvantages. For example, local managers make decisions that are good for their specific locations but might not be good for the company as a decision whole. One disadvantage is very important because whether or not that a local manager might decide to spend a lot of money on advertising to attract customers to a struggling store. However, if the central office were in charge, they can get might choose to close the store instead to save money and they need invest in more successful branches. Another issue is that policies can vary from one location to take the major greater another. If one store doesn’t allow returns while others do, customers might get upset.

Wesley

In the lecture, the professor has given the design of explained decentralization, which means the that in large company companies, local managers have the only brand and authority to make decisions for their specific branches instead of having all decisions made at the only manager can decide central headquarters. There are two main disadvantages of this approach. The first disadvantage is that local managers may make decisions that benefit their individual branches but are not good for the whole overall company. And it has two commonly disadvantages. First one is about the decision For example, a manager might spend a lot of the manager, the overall company, because the manager just think about himself or herself. So they made you some money on advertising which cannot save the money for the company. And the to attract customers to a struggling store, but this could waste company resources instead of saving money. The second disadvantage is the policy. It's variable that company policies can vary from location to location. So the decision This means that if one store decides not to accept returns, customers may not fit for the whole location. So be unhappy if they want to can't get their money back. So in this way, it's bad for Overall, these issues can harm the whole company.company as a whole.

Fielder

In the last name, it shows the lecture, two disadvantages of the decentralized relations. First of all, decentralization are mentioned. First, because they have different local managers and local company, we only do the policies make decisions that good are best for their local companies. And maybe this policy is bad for specific locations, these decisions can sometimes harm the overall companies and maybe the bad for the central companies. So for company. For example, if a local company haven't had store isn't attracting enough customers, they will the manager might spend much a lot of money on advertising to attract draw in more customers. But for However, the central companies, they will more likely office might prefer to close this sharp sharp that store and invest the money in more successful locations instead. This can lead to use money on another most successful sharp. And another conflicts between local and central management. Another disadvantage is that it is company policies might not be applied consistently across different locations. If local managers have the freedom to make their own decisions, the policies could vary, which might confuse customers. For instance, if one store decides not to accept returns while most others do, customers may not suitable for every local company. The central companies policy is not very suitable for the local company.be unhappy if they can't return items that don't fit.

The professor gave discussed two disadvantages of decentralization using examples of the multiple stories. from a clothing company. The first example is the about a local manager, where the English, the not-says-for-store, manager who might decide to spend a lot of coming, money on advertising to attract customers to a struggling store. However, this could be a bad decision for the customer, but company overall because it can might be better to close that store and invest the says-for-store and save money. in more successful ones instead. The second example is a lot of this small about how different stores may have different policies. For instance, if one store decides not to accept returns while others do, customers at that didn't adopt the policy of other stores, the store might get upset if they can't return items. This inconsistency can lead to customer will get access.dissatisfaction.

Richard

The professor illustrated the disadvantage disadvantages of concept decentralization by giving two examples. The first example is about a company who own that owns multiple stores around in the region could disadvantage by region. A local manager who made decision might decide to advertise spend money on advertising to attract customers. So this will customers, which could harm the company by conflicting because it conflicts with the headquarters which decides headquarters' decision to close the that store and to save the cost. costs. Secondly, the policy policies may vary from different locations. one location to another. For example, the closed return can be denied by instance, a local store and might deny returns, which could make customers unhappy.unhappy if they expect to return items.

This gives an example many Decentralization can have disadvantages for large companies that have more than one brand multiple branches or more than one locations. So the managers in the One disadvantage is that local managers will make decisions themselves sometimes. But this has to this advantages. First is this and the local decisions sometimes will that can harm the whole entire company. Because they don't care about They often focus only on what's best for their specific location and may not consider the whole company, just care about overall impact on the local company. Just care about themselves. Like sometimes For example, if a local company they don't say well. So they want store isn't doing well, the manager might decide to spend a lot of money on advertising to avoid icing. But attract customers. However, the whole company central office might choose to close that store to save money and save the money. Second invest in more successful branches instead. Another disadvantage is the company's policy. Like sometimes the that company policies can be applied differently at each location. For instance, if customers want to and want return products, most stores allow this, but if a local store decides not to send the products back. But some local companies say that.accept returns, customers may get upset. This inconsistency can lead to dissatisfaction among customers.

Zao

Large company really companies often have more than one location and they will really have more than one manager. This multiple managers, which is called known as decentralization. Even though it While decentralization can have many advantages but advantages, it also has some disadvantages. And One disadvantage is that local managers might make decisions that harm the first disadvantages overall company. For example, if a store is maybe not doing well, the manager might harm overall all companies because they will make bad decisions. And the professor gave an example of a store. If the part of one store didn't do it well, for example they decide to spend too many money to do auto-attachment but it will influence overall company. And the second is where the manager will make some policy and for example if someone customers want to get money back and many want to make the store a lot better of money on advertising to attract more customers. However, this could negatively impact the company as a whole. Instead, the central office might choose to close the struggling store to save money and invest in more successful branches. Another disadvantage is that policies might be applied differently at various locations. For instance, if one did so. It will influence overalla local manager decides not to accept returns, customers may be unhappy if they can't return items that don't fit. This inconsistency can lead to customer dissatisfaction and harm the company's reputation.

Steven

The company, In a large company has one more branch equation. The with many branches, decentralization can lead to problems. For example, a local manager around might make decisions that only benefit their store, but these decisions could hurt the company overall. If a store may affect local store. This manager may be harmful to other store. Once one example is that if not making enough profit, the manager thinks the store doesn't get enough profit, it may use kind might spend a lot of way money on advertising to attract customers. So it's harmful This could be a bad idea because the central office might prefer to other store.close the store instead and invest in more successful locations. Additionally, if each store has different policies, it can confuse customers. For instance, if one store does not allow returns while others do, customers might be unhappy and choose not to shop there.

Victoria

some of Decentralization can have disadvantages for a company. One major disadvantage is that local managers might make decisions that are good for their branch but bad for the wallets are company as a whole. For example, if a store is struggling, the manager might spend too much, or a just any other light, or so other things, so each wallena will have a whole lot of emanated. Also, to understand what an omega problem is there. And also, I'm going to help the parents to make the money much on advertising instead of closing the big or some companies. Sometimes I also want store to make back their money save money. This can hurt the overall company. Another disadvantage is that policies might be applied differently at different locations, which can confuse customers. If one store doesn't accept returns while others do, customers might get upset. So, decentralization can lead to inconsistency and write to them. Community team. The...poor overall decision-making.

The decentralization is Decentralization refers to how large companies with multiple locations distribute decision-making authority. This means that instead of having all decisions made at the company who have more than one place for large companies. They will find, they will have many, they will find someone to central headquarters, local managers can make the decisions for them. They will find the locations, the best locations in the locations for the company. The advantages their specific branches. One disadvantage of that this is that they can save the money local managers might make choices that are good for their branch but bad for the company overall. For example, if a store is struggling, the manager might spend a lot of money on advertising to attract customers, while the central office might prefer to close the store to save money. Another disadvantage is that policies might be applied differently in various locations. If one store doesn’t allow returns while others do, it can upset customers who expect a consistent experience. Overall, while decentralization can be beneficial, it can also lead to inconsistencies and make poor decisions that affect the company more successful. But the disadvantages of that is they will have the different locations. The company will have different locations in the different locations in the world.entire company.

The decent concentration is like the sound knowledge complex to organize the third three fourths. So they should make the managing sound. These are the enzymes that is by the local. So there is Decentralization can have some disadvantages for a sound to an active or impanse for these decent traditions. And the first company. One disadvantage is this dissonance by the that local is not cared managers may make decisions that are good for their specific location but bad for the other place. So it's has some band influence for company overall. For example, if a store is struggling, a local manager might spend a lot of money on advertising to attract customers, but the other companies central office might prefer to close the store to save money. Another disadvantage is that policies might be applied differently at different locations. If one store decides not to accept returns while others do, customers may get upset. So, decentralization can lead to inconsistency and decisions that don't benefit the second disadvantages. It will sound band policies make the sales people unhappy and losing.company as a whole.

A big company may have different ways of organizing its retail organization operations, and one way we call the decentralization to describe this is about making the decision in the loan brand. And here decentralization, where local branches make decisions. There are two main disadvantages from the of decentralization. The first disadvantage is that local managers may focus too much on their specific branch and not consider the overall benefit for the company. For example, if one location is struggling, the manager might spend too much money on advertising instead of thinking about do whether it would be better to close that store and invest in more successful ones. The second disadvantage is that policies may differ from one location to another, which can upset customers. For instance, if most stores allow returns but one store decides not focus on the benefit of the future, just focus on the loan. So if some locations the company do not do well, so just use other locations, companies, to make the worth the tiesings. And the second is about making the policy, but some policy may hurt the accept returns, customers benefit. So might get frustrated when they may feel upset.can't return items that don't fit.

The lecture discusses large companies that operate with multiple locations, which is talking about the large companies, they have many indications, and the managers will help them. And this is called known as decentralization. And there There are two negative aspects that main disadvantages of this approach. First, decisions made by these competitors. First, the decision is by the manager, we are local managers can harm the overall company. Because For example, if a store is struggling, the managers say no one's good for companies, based manager might decide to spend a lot on their experiences. And if one store can't make money, they will choose advertising to advertise, and they will make much money. And attract customers. However, the other will choose central office might have chosen to close the that store to save money. And second is that This shows how local decisions can be good for one location but bad for the company policy as a whole. Second, different locations might implement company policies differently. If local managers are allowed to make their own decisions about policies, customers might not receive the same service everywhere. For instance, if one store decides not to accept returns while others do, customers at that store may be unhappy. These points highlight how decentralization can create all lead to inconsistent practices and potentially hurt the different locations, the customers, all customers expect their needs.company.

visualization Decentralization can help company have disadvantages for a company. For example, when local managers make some policy decisions, they might only think about what’s best for their branch and that can help not for the company make some policy as a whole. This could lead to do something.decisions that harm the overall business. For instance, if a struggling store spends too much on advertising instead of closing, it might waste money that could be better used elsewhere. Also, if different branches follow different policies, customers might get confused or upset. For example, if one store doesn’t allow returns while others do, customers may be unhappy if they can’t return items.

Andy

So the lecture talks about how decent duration decentralization can have this advantage of disadvantages for a company. The first disadvantage is that the local manager managers may make decisions that harm the whole overall company. So there is For example, if there's a store and it can sell, product. And then that isn't selling well, the manager just put might decide to spend a lot of money for the advertisement. on advertising to try to attract more customers. However, it is this might not be the best choice. The best choice is just central office might choose to close the store and instead to save the money. So it is really hard with money and invest in more successful branches. This can create challenges for the whole company and with the money. And the company. The second example disadvantage is that this advantage is that the policy in different locations policies may have difficulty. Say there is a store and there is be implemented differently at various locations. For instance, if a customer who wants to return the product a product, most stores might allow returns, but if one store decides not to accept returns, customers there may be unhappy. This inconsistency can lead to customer dissatisfaction and to save the money. However, all the store can do that except one store. It can return money to save the money. So it is really difficult.confusion.

Joe

The organization Decentralization can have disadvantages for large companies that operate in multiple locations. One major disadvantage is that decisions made by local managers can sometimes harm the brand which is very large and not in one location and just one brand. So decentralization will bring companies to this advantage. First is the decentralization will harm overall company like not the low-code but in general. company. For example, if the sum stores a store is going not doing well, the decentralization will local manager might choose to spend a lot of money on advertising to attract customers, rather than considering whether it would be better to close down the store. This decision might help that particular store, but rather it could hurt the advertising company as a whole. Another disadvantage is that different locations might have varying policies. If local managers are allowed to make their own decisions about policies, this can lead to inconsistencies across locations. For instance, if one store decides not to accept returns while others do, customers in that store may become frustrated if they can't return items. Overall, these issues can create challenges for the low-code region. So it will influence overall company. Second is if there are some places have some special policies, the decentralization will put the decision company in overall companies. But not just the specific regions it will harm to another regions which do not have these policies.maintaining a consistent brand and customer experience.

Carol

This lecture is explained talks about the dissolution, dissolution decentralization, which can have this advantage disadvantages for a company. This In a large company, local managers can make decisions for their branches, but this can lead to problems. For example, if a store is in a hard company, they may have something to control humans. And then for struggling, the local person, they just want manager might decide to buy the basket, basket, basket product that don't focus on the financial or economic. Then they have a wide story, if they control many people, they can get spend a lot of money, then it will money on advertising to attract customers. However, the central office might have chosen to close that store instead to save money. Another issue is that policies might be successful. They have another example. Most of the store can applied differently at different locations. For instance, if most stores allow customers to return the clothes and save the money, clothes, but one store don't do that, so doesn't, it could upset customers who want to return items. This inconsistency can harm the consumer are sad for this choice that they may be don't very have acompany's reputation.

Camilia

So, in this lecture, it's taught us we learned about the business and the how large company in different ways to companies manage their own and operations through decentralization. One disadvantage of decentralization is that local managers may make decisions that cause are good for their specific store but harmful to the overall company. For example, if a decentralization. And first, this advantage store is struggling, the manager might decide to spend a lot of money on advertising to attract customers. However, the central office might have chosen to close that store to save money and invest in more successful ones instead. Another disadvantage is some of the that company policies might be applied differently at various locations. If local harm overall company and they will have only one best choice for that, managers decide on policies, customers may end up unhappy if their expectations are not met. For instance, if most stores allow returns but not consider about the company. So there's an example for that. One example, one store are not good for them and to just spend some of the time or money on that. So they will choose another way to success and the second is the company of the power and there's a police. And some of the ex-backed the customer needs but they does not, customers who can't return their items may feel unhappy so they will get their money back.frustrated.

In a the lecture, the professor explains two advantages about decentralization. The first strategy that decentralization can have some disadvantages for a company. One disadvantage is how this advantage that local managers might make decisions that are good for their specific store but not for the company as a whole. For example, if a store is humming overall. If struggling, the manager might decide to spend a lot of money on advertising to attract customers. However, the central office might think it’s better to close the store wants to attract more customers and maybe they will do some decrease of the price of the product. However, the customer will choose the cheaper one and do not go to the other stores to save money. The second Another disadvantage is about the location. The that different stores might handle company policies differently. For instance, if one store decides not to accept returns while others do, customers might get upset if they can’t return items they bought. This inconsistency can lead to customer will prefer that can return money.dissatisfaction.

The dissonings perversal give us Decentralization can have some disadvantages for a chewed disadvantages by the decentralization. company. First, is when the company has their local company and the local company where it makes branches make their own decision. The decision where home home decisions, they might not consider what’s best for the original entire company. For example, one company takes more if a local store spends a lot of money on advertising to attract customers. But another company will save the money to give customers, it might not be a good decision for the company overall. The central office might decide it’s better to close that store instead to save money. This company will close down. Another disadvantage is that the company has different locations might have different policies. The policy will make the If one store doesn’t allow returns while others do, customers might get upset if they can’t return items. This inconsistency can lead to customer have some feedback. If the company allows the customer to return the clothes and give back their money.dissatisfaction.

The professor many talks about the dissentuation decentralization and he gives mentions two examples. main disadvantages. The first disadvantage is the most of the company is the have the disadvantages of the choice and the decision. They may focus on the best that local managers might make decisions that are good for their specific location but not for the good company. company as a whole. For example, if one store is not doing well, maybe struggling, the manager might decide to spend a lot of money on advertising to attract more customers. However, if the central office were in charge, they will focus might choose to close that store to save money and invest in the more successful branches instead. The second disadvantage is that policies can vary from location to location. If local managers are allowed to make their own decisions about policies, customers might have different experiences depending on the more store they visit. For instance, if one store decides not to accept returns, customers will add in this company and might be unhappy if close to the successful branches, maybe they will feel not well. The second is to carry about the variable things. There are some policies can't return items that if the customers is unexpected, maybe they will feel unhappy and the customer will.don't fit.

The Dizentry Dizentryization Decentralization is termed a term used in business. It means business that refers to how some business, some companies, managers, and take companies allow local managers to make decisions because of based on their local situation by local manager. However, specific situations. While this can be helpful, it is might not be good for whole party made the best for this company, but not in general. Some examples, firstly, company as a man is whole. For example, if a manager in at a story, and because of his local in this area, so he put store decides to spend a lot of money on advertising to attract customers, they might not consider the overall financial health of the company. Instead, the central office might have chosen to close that store to save money and invest in advertisements. However, there more successful branches. Another issue with decentralization is a lot enough money that company policies can vary from location to control others. So if he saved a lot of money, or such money, he would save a lot of money, so it would location. If one store decides not to accept returns, customers might be easier unhappy because they expect to succeed in a successful branch. Another is a police location.return items. This inconsistency can lead to customer dissatisfaction and hurt the company's reputation.

Regina

The lecture In the lecture, it was mentioned that decentralization can have disadvantages for a company. One issue is talked about that local managers might make decisions that are good for their specific location but not for the difference, company as a whole. For example, if a store is struggling, the manager might spend too much on advertising instead of considering whether to close the store. This could harm the overall company. Another problem is that policies might be applied differently in various locations, which can confuse customers. If one store doesn’t allow returns while others do, customers have a difference, the store and the customers have a difference in their customers. It sounds like a song, a may get upset. So, decentralization can lead to inconsistent customer is a cat, a do not allow to make the money by making the story to the customer.experiences.

I will show you want to discuss the lecture of by the professor. I talked professor about the disadvantages of the decentralization. Decentralization means that a company has a manly branch. And the multiple branches, and each branch can make their its own decision. And they cannot decisions. However, these decisions may not consider the main companies. For example, and this one is the branch decision may harm the overall company. company's best interests. For example, the professor used mentioned a co-store for example. The stores. The company may clothing store. If a branch decides to spend a lot of money on advertising.advertising to attract customers, it might harm the company as a whole. Instead, the central office might have chosen to close that struggling store to save money and invest in more successful branches. Another issue is that policies may vary from one location to another. If one store decides not to accept returns, customers might get upset if they can't return clothes that don't fit. This inconsistency can lead to unhappy customers and affect the company's reputation.

Jason

Nowadays, In large companies, decentralization can have some disadvantages. First, when local managers make decisions, they might focus only on their branch's success. For example, if a store isn't doing well, the large companies often manager might spend a lot of money on advertising to attract customers. This could be a bad decision for the company overall because the central office might have more than chosen to close that store instead. Second, if different branches have different policies, it can confuse customers. For instance, if one bonds and how to run this bond that's the company's profit and benefits. There are two disadvantages about this. First, the decision low co-managers, store doesn't allow returns while others do, customers might be unhappy if they make decisions, it's hard managers and if can't return items they make bad decisions, one store, didn't work well, they may affect more and use other advertisements to attract more customers and second, as he can return the money back in the camera.bought.

Raymond

This lecture introduced talks about how managers make decision decisions for their companies through a process called decentralizations. decentralization. This shows means that customer local managers in different situations make locations develop different strategies to sell boost their products sales. For example, a manager at a struggling store might decide to make their benefits highest. In different places and different products, they were choose what's best for their companies. In different situations, they were choose different way spend a lot on advertising to attract more customers. However, this could be a bad decision for the company overall, as the central office might prefer to close that store instead to save money. Additionally, if local managers are allowed to set their own policies, customers might face inconsistencies. For instance, if one store doesn't accept returns while others do, customers may be unhappy. So, while decentralization allows for flexibility, it can also lead to their store and policies may influence their choices.decisions that harm the company as a whole.

The organization is about In large companies, decentralization means that local managers can make decisions for their branches instead of having all decisions made at the large company. They organize their different companies in different locations by device different central headquarters. However, there are two main disadvantages to this approach. First, local managers in local position. And these managers, they can decide might make decisions that are harmful to the things in the company. And here is two disadvantages. The first is the local managers. They may do some harm scenes for the overall company. For example, if some managers will a store is struggling, a local manager might decide to spend a lot of money on advertising instead of considering whether it would be better to close the store to and save the money. And another disadvantage is Second, there will can be inconsistencies in how company policies are applied at different locations. If local managers make their own decisions about policies, customers might have some problems with the manager, with police. And the people in the company, different experiences. For instance, if one store doesn't allow returns while others do, customers might be unhappy if they will unhappy. And they will get money back. Also, we will update.can’t return items that don’t fit.
