The blur line between decentralization and efficiency


It is imperative to stress that for a firm to succeed, it has to abide by the tenet of a market system. Human want are insatiable hence, the need for firms to meet demand with supply is necessary for the growth and sustainability of the firm. Also, for the firm to enjoy returns earnings on investment, Market system are better than Central Planning. With the world tending towards full globalization, most Centrally planned economic/ firm are playing catch up to firm operating a market economy.

 For instant, there is low motivation regarding setting innovated ideas in motion due to bureaucracy associated with Centrally planned firm. Moreover, there are bound to be shortages or surplus of supply due to lack of free market prices that set quantity to be produced, who the target demographics are and how much of the products will be demanded to avoid over saturation of supply. A firm operating under Centrally Planned economy faces the threat of Economic Darwinism. In this case, the firm is forced out of the market by more efficient competitor.
