In decentralized structures, responsibility for decision making is broadly dispersed down to the lower levels of an organization.

Modern organizations are more aware of the value of empowered employees and actively strive to structurally increase empowerment.

In order to succeed, modern organizations must constantly adapt to evolving technologies and expanding global markets.

Employers can offer flexible working arrangements in the form of flextime and telecommuting work.
