Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The advantage of centralization is that it lets top managers coordinate organizational activities and keep the organization focused on its goals.

Centralization becomes a problem, however, when top managers become overloaded and immersed in operational decision-making about day-to-day resource issues. When this happens they have little time to spend on long-term strategic decision-making, and planning crucial future organizational activities, such as deciding on the best strategy to compete globally, is neglected.
