Management is dynamic in nature. Because this is so, it requires a
continuous and realistic appraisal of its concepts and techniques, one of which
is managerial decentralization. The purpose of this study is to gather evidence
of the successful application of decentralisation as a management technique and
further to analyze the major constructs of the decentralization philosophy resulting
in the formulation of a universal framework within which decentralization
may be implemented to the optimum degree.
