Decentralisation results from :
Answer: B
Decentralisation results from delegation.
Delegation is the act of a superior entrusting part of his authority to a subordinate. When authority is delegated systematically and widely down the levels of an organisation, the result is decentralisation; when it is kept at the top, the organisation is centralised. Decentralisation is therefore the extension of delegation to the organisation as a whole.
Span of control is the number of subordinates one superior can supervise; it affects the shape of the hierarchy but does not itself pass authority down. Coordination is the integration of effort, and leadership is the influence a superior exerts. Neither transfers decision-making authority, so neither produces decentralisation.
