Keep in mind that the sector in which the company is FMCG.
उत्तर
A major change that needs to be adopted is a move towards decentralisation. As the organisation is growing it cannot maintain complete centralisation. The employees must be given some authority and responsibility to ensure smooth and efficient functioning of the organisation. Moreover, it would enable quick decision making in the organisation.
Decentralisation would benefit the organisation in the following manner.
1. With decentralisation the lower level managers would get freedom and autonomy to take initiatives.
2. Decentralisation would help in developing managerial competence which would prove useful in the process of growth.
3. With decentralisation the decisions are taken quickly and in a timely manner. This is useful in finding solutions to the problems easily.
