IT Manager in Constructiona year ago

Unless you are in a micromanagement scenario, where the decision maker is centralized, each role and profile has decision maker capabilities.
The question is... who is accountable of these decision?

Thanks,

When we were a $1billion dollar company of 4,000 employees I had a $40million dollar budget and signing authorization for about 500k per item as a manager

Then we were acquired by a $40 billion dollar company and I could not sign for a box of pens. And you didn’t get signing authorization into you were a Cxx. VP level could sign for office supplies though. It was a strange transition but eventually you learn how to work with it and factor in the delays into your project plans.
