  1. centralization

    Centralization refers to the concentration of control or authority in a single central point or location, whether it's within a company, government, or organization. This system limits the power and decision-making abilities of individuals or groups on a local level, consolidating it within a central leadership or body. For example, in a centralized business, decision-making is usually carried out by top management or the head office, rather than allowing each department or regional office to make independent decisions.
