Details:
You have been the manager of human resources (HR) for a firm headquartered in the United States for many years. The firm has divisions all over the United States, as well as overseas. A new chief executive officer (CEO) has just come onboard after receiving his master's degree in business from an ivy-league institution. He has great academic credentials but little work experience. The management model that the former CEO preferred was more formal and autocratic, with most decision making being centralized to a great degree. Some of the firm's challenges include frequent, decentralized decision making, which leads to poor decisions at the overseas divisions, such as a U.S. manufactured product being promoted at an overseas division.
The new CEO has asked you to give him guidance specifically dealing with the current practice of decentralized decision making.
