Actually, centralization of management creates a lot of benefits in communication flow, resource allocation and operating efficiency. Lack of centralization results in confusion and task duplication.

This sounds a communication problem, not a system problem. Decentralized systems are good at adapting to changing environments and are typically harder to destroy.
If the complex systems theory side of organisation interests you i would recommend you to check out the desktop regulatory state..

Huh? Communication is a system problem? Why would they be separate issues?
Decentralized systems are good at adapting to changing environments and are typically harder to destroy.
But slower and prone to error, because the same information has to be conveyed to all members of the system, and if the individual members are not coordinated they take individual action leading to duplication of effort and waste of resources, or worse take the wrong action because they only got part of the information or because they are not restricted to follow orders from other members of the system because no one has any authority over anyone else.
This decentralized system requires that every member is acting in good faith for the benefit of other members with no self-interest. That is not practical, it will never happen.
