advantages of centralization?
81791
Centralization simplifies organization structure and makes it easier to track decisions.  Decisions may not be appropriate for all situations if they aren't considered separately.

I did not quite get your question but I will do my best.\n\nafter cost you should look for comparative advantages. for example you may have two department and both make profit, but if you take some resource from Dep A and put it in Dep B you may get more profit otherwise together. \n\nThere are other factor as well I can't explain now. You may read books like \n\nWEYGANDT / MANAGERIAL ACCO TOOLS FOR BUSI DECI MAKING/E GRADE PLUS\n\nBLOCHER / COST MANAGEMENT/STRATEGIC EMPHASIS/QUICKSTUDY

Federalism is neither good nor bad in itself. It is a form of democracy entirely appropriate for our times - times which require large agglomerations of resources for some purposes but which also want a local variety, and as much local autonomy as is possible. To go it alone in a global world is hard for any small group, or indeed for any nation. Temporary alliances of mutual interest, confederations are fragile. The transaction costs involved in maintaining them often exceed their benefits, and it is not easy to ensure that some do not benefit more from the alliance than others. Federations, too, have their transaction costs, for much has to be done by negotiation and agreement rather than by central diktat. But the sense of twin citizenship can be deeply reassuring, because we know that we are locked into something bigger than ourselves while at the same time preserving our own identity.

I am assuming you are talking about files and folders inheriting the permissions of their parent folders.  If you are talking about inheritance as in inheriting money from someone, you're in the wrong area.\n\nThe advantage of inheritance with files and folders is that you can set up the permissions in the parent folder and all child folders will have those same permissions by default.  This way you do not have to go in and set up permissions for each and every folder if all child folders are to carry the same persmissions.\n\nThe disadvantage is that many people (actually, most people) forget about these permissions, or have them set so loosely as to be wide open, and do no change the permissions when the create new sub-folders, even if those folders should have limited rights and permissions.  This creates possible security issues, and at the very least can result in people having access to information they really have no need for.

The are interchangable terms, but organizing is more about resource allocation and adminstration is more about resource control, management includes both plus coordination

The main advantage of a multi-processing system is the dual core CPU. It makes multitasking so much more managable.

Sort of.  There are benefits to outsourcing if the firm is particularly specialized in that and it's not a big deal to outsource this particular service.  An example of this could be payroll, where there are these monster payroll companies, such as PayChex that handle payroll for companies because payroll is an easy service to outside and this process shows how the division of labor has worked well.\n\nThere are other things in a business that you don't really want to outsource because you may be dealing with proprietary things that you don't want people to know about and it's a core part of the business.\n\nThese days with software companies and also things like call centers, we're not really seeing benefits from division of labor.  It's more than the average wage per capita varies per country.  So workers in other countries provide cheap labor and that's the reason for the outsourcing.  Often times, the foreign labor may not do as well of a job as a domestic worker, but it's worth it because the company saves money.

It has more disadvantages than advantages, but one of its advantages is the planning of the economy: A clear example of that are the examples of China and Mexico. In Mexico there is a democracy, so the discussion in congress stopped taking measures to attract investment. In China, the economy is centrally planned, so all the reforms needed to attract investment and create jobs were taken very fast, allowing the Chinese economy to grow at rates of 9% while Mexico was stuck.\n\nHowever consider the disadvantages of lack of freedom and that if an inneficient government get to power they can cause more damage.

Some of the advantages are...\n\n1) They catch logic bugs you were not aware of (desk checking)\n2) They tackle a problem in different ways, some might be better than you implemented it.\n3) They can help make sure the system is closely following the requirements\n4) It can help garner some much needed "buy in" from others\n\nDisadvantages are...\n\n1) Conflicting opinions as to how things should be done\n2) Classic arguments\n3) If the committee is too picky about things, it can slow development to a crawl\n4) They discuss everything and very little action is actually accomplished\n\nSo in summary they are good for giving fresh perspectives about code leading to better written code and less overall bugs, but if they don't handle themselves totally professionally they can also slow the process leading to disagreements and hostilities as well as wasting budget money. You might have heard something along the lines of "Too many cooks in the kitchen"\n\nHope that helps you out.

To reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO).  Currently there are too many proprietary technologies, cost of integrating them is huge.  The savings might not be "immediate" but over the course of time, it will be beneficial.\n\nI am answering the question very generically.  Need more details to answer more specifically.

Also known as IT has many advantages. Most mentioned by the two previous answers. Good Luck on your recitation.

The advantages are that these 'distribution' methods can cover a broader geographic area than can traditional retail.  Using things like the home shopping network and mail order, in addition to the Internet, a retailer - especially a specialty retailer - can cover a large geographic area.\n\nMany people believe that the notion of 'non-store' retailing will continue to grow.  I tell retail clients that smart retailers should seriously look at adding a non location component to their distribution mix.  Sears has always done this, and companies such as Best Buy and Wal-Mart are also using the Internet for this alternate form of distribution.

One benefit is that you can get a lot of questions answered (such as this one :)\n\nAnother benefit is that you can communicate, do various transactions, apply for services, etc. very easily, from the comfort of your home, at any time, regardless of where the other party is located, provided that both parties use the internet.\n\nAnd third, you can learn a lot of new things, read news, articles on various topics, etc., and it's all interactive, very unlike TV for example where you have a fixed set of channels and can't send anything back.

There are some benefits.  For example, if you work on an assembly line that makes cars, the marketing department of the car company influences the public to buy the product you produce.  This helps "move product" and pays your wages.  However, the over commercialization and corporate blight of all public spaces has no real advantage to society.

Well the benifit would be that you can split the work equally. Also you have others to depend on and you don't have as much work to do. Also you get to work with other peole as well as speak your mind about things.
