Question

Differentiate between ‘Delegation’ and ‘Decentralisation’ on any four bases. 

Answer 1

S. No	Basis	Delegation	Decentralisation
1.	Meaning	It refers to the delegation of power from superiors to their subordinates.	It refers to the methodical distribution of power throughout all divisions and management levels.
2.	Scope	Its scope is restricted to the superior and his direct subordinate.	Because it suggests expanding delegation to the lowest level of management, it has a broad scope.
3.	Status	It is a procedure used for task sharing.	It is the outcome of the senior management's policy choice.
4.	Nature	Since no one can complete every duty by themselves, delegation is a must.	Decentralization is a choice in policymaking. The highest management decides what should be done.
