1) We preferred to change to decentralization because : 
-different places of people have different taste in food and this allow a lower manager to take measure in that particular situation. 
-the food menu is more flexible 
-
2a) Advantages of decentralization :
-improve the skills of the employees
-lower pressure on top management 

Disadvantages of decentralization :
- environment is complex and leads to confusion .
-consume more resources
 
2b) Advantages of centralization : 
-easy to control 
-environment is stable 
-make good use of resources

Disadvantages :
-does not recognized employee's  potential
-only top manager can make decision and limits the ideas 

3) The best structure that we applies the case above is division structure , because all branches follow the same policy from the head company and to prevent diversity from other company and to make sure all branches are in the same status . ]]> 2017-05-22 02:52:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rifhan_ghafir/iiui6vfszlm8/wish/173043406 Bbbb https://padlet.com/rifhan_ghafir/iiui6vfszlm8/wish/173043421 Group members :

1) I would choose to maintain with centralization. This is because we want to keep the original taste and quality of the food.

2) CENTRALIZATION 
Advantages :
~ The original recipe will be used in every franchise.
~ Decision making can be made by the more experienced managers.
~ Decision will not be delayed.

Disadvantages :
~ Employees might not agree to all decision made by top managers.
~ Top managers may not understand what is going on in the company.

DECENTRALIZATION
Advantages : 
~ More ideas.
~ Employee can involve in decision making process.
~ Employees might be more innovative and creative.
~ Can provide opportunity for training to the employees.

Disadvantages :
~ Hard to make decision as everyone has their own way of thinking.
~ Take longer time to make decision.
~ Duplication of work may occur.

3) Divisional structure.
Divisional structure can make sure that every branch is doing the same task given by the top managers in the head quarters. Every employee can be sure about the instructions given and run the business effectively and efficiently.]]> 2017-05-22 02:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rifhan_ghafir/iiui6vfszlm8/wish/173043421 1M https://padlet.com/rifhan_ghafir/iiui6vfszlm8/wish/173043481 group members:

2)Advantanges
-Making for easier coordination and management control.
-Able to manage crisis much efficiently
-It reduces the pressure of managers
Disadvantages
-Too many decisions, it might be confusing
-Work procrastination might be occurred
3.Simple structure
-Because it is the same type of company, so all the branches will be standardize. For example, all the stores will have the same price, poster and products.]]> 2017-05-22 02:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rifhan_ghafir/iiui6vfszlm8/wish/173043616 https://padlet.com/rifhan_ghafir/iiui6vfszlm8/wish/173043817 Group members:

1)Centralization method will be used in order to maintain the food taste and quality of it so customer will be able to taste the nice quality food in our stores

2)A)Advantages of Centralization:
-Quality of food in every branches can be guaranteed
- Managers will follow the instructions given from the higher division of the company so the work can be coordinated well and controlled to prevent confusion.
Disadvantages of Centralization
-performance of the worker might be overlook because workers just follow the instruction from the top manager

2)B)Disadvantages of decentralization
- The food will taste less consistent because it depends on the cook's preference. 
-Instruction of the managers to the cooks might not be the same with other branches managers because  the branch managers have to authority to give their own instruction to the cooks.
Advantages of Decentralization
-More profit because of selling the franchise to the others .


3) Divisional structure because the mangers can make sure all the branches are doing the same things. ]]> 2017-05-22 02:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rifhan_ghafir/iiui6vfszlm8/wish/173043817 https://padlet.com/rifhan_ghafir/iiui6vfszlm8/wish/173046907 Group members:

1)We would choose centralization,the reason is because it is easier to implement a common policy for the organization as a whole,also,coordination between the main HQ and branches can also be established.
 
2)For centralization,mistakes can be managed easily because in a centralized organization,authorities are retained in the HQ.Therefore, before any decisions are made by the branch managers,it have to be approved by the HQ so mistakes can be minimized.Furthermore,it can also prevents the branches from working against the HQ’s policy and goals. 
However,in a centralized organization,decisions take longer to process . For example,if an employee has a suggestion,their suggestion has to go through various layer of management to get approved,therefore it will takes some time.Also,employees might not be satisfied with the upper level’s decisions because they have no authority to refuse their orders.
 
In a decentralized organization,HQ doesn’t have to supervise the branches in detail and it can reduce the time consumption because the HQ will only have to look at the monthly reports.But decentralized branches might work against the HQ’s policy and their original goals and it might cause problems like having the same recipes but different tastes.
 
3)Based on chapter 6,divisional structure is best structure to implement,because in a divisional structure,it has multiple units but they all have the same goals and same work activities to be done.
