Learning Organization
7-10
A learning organization is one that opens communication between departments in order to increase the level of learning among employees within the organization
The manager creating and sustaining this kind of organization invests in employees through extensive training and minimal restrictions so that creativity is emphasized
Through the knowledge that is created and captured, employees are encouraged to experiment with the ideas that have the most value for customers Managers encourage a healthy level of risk taking and learning
from mistakes
Failure is valued as a learning experience and success, while celebrated, is seen as a fleeting experience that should not be the focus of the future because there is not much to learn from success

Delegation of Authority
7-18
As a business grows, so do the number and complexity of decisions that must be made; no one manager can handle them all
Delegation of authority frees a manager to concentrate on larger issues such as planning or dealing with problems and opportunities
Delegation of Authority
• Giving employees not only tasks, but also the power to make commitments, use resources, and take whatever actions are necessary to carry out those tasks
![Page 19: Part 3 Managing for Quality and Competitiveness © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649d0c5503460f949e0834/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Responsibility and Accountability
7-19
Responsibility
• The obligation, placed on employees through delegation, to perform assigned tasks satisfactorily and be held accountable for the proper execution of work
Accountability
• The principle that employees who accept an assignment and the authority to carry it out are answerable to a superior for the outcome
![Page 20: Part 3 Managing for Quality and Competitiveness © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649d0c5503460f949e0834/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Degree of Centralization
7-20
Centralized Organizations
• A structure in which authority is concentrated at the top, and very little decision-making authority is delegated to lower levels
• Overcentralization can cause serious problems for a company, in part because it may take longer for the organization as a whole to implement decisions and to respond to changes and problems on a regional scale
Decentralized Organizations
• An organization in which decision-making authority is delegated as far down the chain of command as possible
• Delegating authority to lower levels of managers may increase the organization’s productivity
![Page 21: Part 3 Managing for Quality and Competitiveness © 2015 McGraw-Hill Education.](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649d0c5503460f949e0834/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
