procedures, and efficient resource allocation. It can

making is required, or where the company needs to
maintain strict control and standardization.

delegation of decision-making authority and
responsibility to lower levels within Al Rehman
garden. In a decentralized structure, decision-
making power is distributed across various

and the development of specialized expertise at
different levels.
