Top management has the authority to decide whether decentralization should be implemented in the organization based on factors like its size, complexity, and goals. Assertion (A) is correct, and Reason (R) explains this concept by stating that decentralization is a decision taken by top management. Hence, both are true, and Reason (R) explains Assertion (A).
