Problem 1: Which of the following is NOT a benefit of decentralization?

Option 1: Top management is relieved of much day-to-day problem solving and is left free to concentrate on strategy, higher-level decision making, and coordinating activities.

Option 2: Lower-level managers may make decisions without fully understanding the big picture.

Option 3: Decentralization provides lower-level managers with vital experience in making decisions.

Option 4: Without such experience, they would be ill prepared to make decisions when they are promoted to higher-level positions. Added responsibility and decision-making authority often result in increased job satisfaction. It makes the job more interesting and motivates people to put out their best efforts.
