Centrálást

Centrálást is a term used in some contexts, particularly in business and organizational theory, to describe the process of centralizing functions, decision-making, or control within an organization. It involves consolidating resources, authority, or operations into a single point or a smaller number of points, rather than distributing them across various departments or locations. This can manifest in various ways, such as centralizing human resources, IT infrastructure, procurement, or strategic planning. The primary aims of centrálást often include achieving greater efficiency, reducing redundancy, improving consistency, and strengthening overall control. However, it can also lead to potential drawbacks such as decreased flexibility, slower response times to localized needs, and a potential for bureaucratic bottlenecks. The decision to implement centrálást is typically based on a strategic assessment of an organization's goals, its operational structure, and the perceived benefits versus the potential risks. The degree of centrálást can vary significantly, ranging from complete centralization where all functions are managed from a single hub, to partial centralization where certain key functions are centralized while others remain decentralized.
