Delegation of Authority
A delegation of authority (DOA) is the assignment of a responsibility, authority or decision-making responsibility to another individual normally from a manager to his / her subordinates. This may be required in order to carry out specific activities within the business to reduce bottlenecks associated with too many decisions resting on the shoulders of a specific individual.
