1
bring under central control
to put control in one main place
Padron ng paggamit:
centralize [something] (under/in/within [authority/department])
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may confuse centralize (make control more concentrated) with concentrate (bring together physically or mentally). Also, centralize is usually not followed by 'to' (say 'centralize in/under', not 'centralize to').
Mga kasingkahulugan
consolidate (Often emphasizes combining separate units into one, not just shifting authority upward.)
|
concentrate (More general; can refer to bringing things together, not specifically organizational control.)
Mga kasalungat
decentralize (Moves power or decisions away from the center to local units.)
|
delegate (Gives decision-making power to others rather than keeping it at the center.)

to put things in one main place
Padron ng paggamit:

bring together (More general and less formal; does not necessarily imply a single 'center'.)
|
consolidate (Often stresses efficiency by combining sites or functions.)
Mga kasalungat
disperse (Spreads people or things out across different places.)
|
distribute (Allocates resources across locations rather than gathering them into one.)

|
standardize (Focuses on making systems uniform; may or may not involve one central system.)
