Scenario
As the lead consultant for Workplace Solutions Consulting, you are the one to deliver recommendations for organizational change to the management of Informational Systems. Some of the ideas involve centralizing some duplicated administration functions in regional locations and others involve de-centralizing product departments to break down silo walls across locations. You collected significant data in order to conduct the best analysis. The bottom line: although all of these changes are for the better for organization, they will be quite disruptive to the personnel at IS.
Your Task~After reading your textbook, particularly modules 11, 12 and 15, answer to the best of your ability.

The centralization of Finance and HR (no jobs lost, but increased specialization and responsibility).
The de-centralization of the heretofore separate product departments (break up of existing teams, reforming new teams, and new reporting relationships).
