When decision-making power is decentralized, managers should be particularly alert to:
**Option B: Barriers that may prevent constant feedback to top management must be removed.**

Ensuring that there are effective communication channels for feedback is critical for aligning decisions with the overall strategic goals of the organization. This helps maintain coherence and allows top management to be informed of issues and changes in the operational environment.
