Correct Answer: The assertion is correct, the reason is incorrect.


Solution : The correct answer is (c) The assertion is correct, the reason is incorrect.

The assertion is correct. Centralization involves concentrating decision-making authority at the top level of management.

The reason is incorrect. Centralization doesn't inherently mean slow and ineffective decision-making. It's about where the decision-making authority is concentrated, not the speed or effectiveness of decision-making. Effective decision-making depends on various factors beyond centralization, such as organizational culture, processes, and leadership capabilities.
