Question

Very Short Answer Question:
Distinguish between delegation and decentralization on the basis of
(a) Responsibility, (b) Scope, (c) Grant of authority.

Answer 1

On the basis of	Delegation	Decentralization
Responsibility	In delegation, superior delegates or transfers some rights and duties to a subordinate but his responsibility in respect of that work does not end.	On the other hand, decentralization relieves him from responsibility and the subordinate becomes liable for that work.
Scope	Delegation hardly poses any problem of coordination to the delegator of authority.	While decentralization poses a great problem in this regard since extreme freedom of action is given to the people by creating self-sufficient or autonomous units.
Grant of authority	The delegation represents selecting dispersal of authority	decentralization signifies the creation of autonomous and self-sufficient units or divisions.
