Answer 1

Greenwave is an example of a "decentralized" organization.

A decentralized organization is one in which most choices are made by mid-level or lower-level managers, as opposed to being made halfway by the leader of the organization. It's the inverse of a unified association, in which all choices are made at the best.  

Decentralized organization depend on a team environment at various levels in the business. People at each level in the business may have some self-governance to settle on business choices.
