One decision all organizations must make is how power and decision-making authority must be shared. Organizations may either be centralized, decentralized, or a combination of both when it comes to who makes the decisions.

• How is decision-making authority distributed in this organization (Walmart)?
• Is this the most efficient method of decision-making in this instance? Why or why not?
• Would you recommend that Walmart redistributes decision-making power in a different way? If so, what potential benefits would this have to the group?
