Organizations range from highly centralized to strongly decentralized.
Although some firms lie at either end of the continuum, most fall somewhere between the two extremes, with the majority of these tending toward a decentralized approach.
A special case of the decentralized firm is the multinational corporation (MNC).
The MNC is a corporation that “does business in more than one country in such a volume that its well-being and growth rest in more than one country.”
