Alfonso Kirby · Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "B": Centralization of authority.

Explanation:

Centralization of authority takes place in companies where high-rank executives take most or all the decisions regarding the operations. Employees voice is not heard under this approach. Managers tend to implement this strategy when they pretend to minimize the percentage of mistakes incurred in the firm. The organization of the company tends to be bureaucratic.
