One way of thinking about organizing to implement cost leadership strategies is that firms that pursue this strategy should be highly centralized, have high levels of direct supervision, and keep employee wages to an absolute minimum. Another approach is to decentralize decision-making authority—to ensure that individuals who know the most about reducing cost make decisions about how to reduce costs. This, in turn, would imply less direct supervision and somewhat higher levels of employee wages (why?). Which of these two approaches seems more reasonable? Under what conditions would these different approaches make more or less sense?
