provide practical examples for each of the following advantages of Geographical approach
1. decision-making is based on firsthand information
2. there is one controlling officer and all staff function under him resulting in better co-ordination of goods and services to be delivered
1. Advantage: decision-making is based on firsthand information
Example: A city council is deciding where to allocate funds for road repairs. By using a geographical approach, city officials can physically inspect each road in need of repairs to assess the severity of the damage and prioritize which roads need immediate attention based on firsthand information gathered on-site.
2. Advantage: there is one controlling officer and all staff function under him resulting in better co-ordination of goods and services to be delivered
Example: A logistics company is using a geographical approach to coordinate deliveries to multiple locations. By having one controlling officer overseeing all staff members responsible for different delivery routes, there is better coordination in terms of scheduling, routing, and communication among the team to ensure goods and services are delivered efficiently and on time.
