7 Decentralized control:
In this case, the company offers the self-assessment English language courses for students across a number of countries. Therefore, they decide to use a testing online platform to target more customers in many countries rather one country only. For this purpose, the company has to assign some person who has a good communication skill to persuade the students and experience about student consultant service such as consult about the information of the university, cost for living oversea, e.g. in each country.
So why does the company need to apply the decentralized control? The reason for the company to use this method will be described on the following ideas bellow: * The company does not need to manage the jobs by themselves in each country where they want to target because we will spend a lot of time to understand the market of those countries. In this case, by assigning the agents help the company to target the customers; the company will reach the customers easier than doing by themselves. * Decentralization provides the agents with vital experience in making decisions. Without the top level controlling, the agents are free to make decisions when they meet the potential customers. * The cost for setting up branch offices in every country will be more expensive than paying for the agents to do their habitual jobs. * In addition, the agents are local people who are living on those countries will easily communicate with the customers. The agents generally have more detailed and up to date information about local conditions than the company. Therefore the decisions of agents are often based on better information. * Added responsibility and decision making authority often result in increased job satisfaction. Responsibility and the authority, that goes with it makes the job more interesting and provides greater incentives for people to put out their best efforts. * Finally, The Company is relieved of much day-to-day problem solving and is left free to concentrate on strategy, on higher level decision making, and coordinating activities.
