(2021) MGTN59 20211Department of Business Administration
- Abstract
- In the context of international cooperation organizations, decentralizing decision-making authority can accompany many complexities.

And secondly, the research hopes to justify these conditions by dichotomizing organizational conditions as favorable or unfavorable. The former embodies organizations that function under the identified conditions and the latter being organizations that do... (More)
- In the context of international cooperation organizations, decentralizing decision-making authority can accompany many complexities. Most such organizations do it in the hopes to deliver services, whatever they may be, efficiently. This research attempts at unraveling some of these complexities through the formation of two problems. Firstly, the research seeks to discover the necessary conditions that organizations need to qualify in order to deploy decentralization of decision-making. And secondly, the research hopes to justify these conditions by dichotomizing organizational conditions as favorable or unfavorable. The former embodies organizations that function under the identified conditions and the latter being organizations that do not. The United Nations management reforms within the framework of democratic governance is studied as a case and qualitative data is extracted through semi-structured interviews. The findings in this thesis paper are extracted from interviews of employees working for the United Nations, the largest international cooperation organization in the world. The research postulates that within the framework of these unfavorable conditions, instances of conflict of interest seem to arise. International organizations that subscribe to contextual democratic governance, adhering to collective decision-making and the contextual socio-cultural environment demonstrated potential trends toward decreasing instances of conflict of interest.
