Some people are confused if the Human Resource Department are the ones who hire people. In fact, the final decision usually are the top management such as the managers. But then, it depends on what companies that they are working it. Any thoughts about it?
Who makes the decision in business?

It depends on the type of business and what kind of decisions to be made. For a sole proprietorship, the business owner makes the final decision of all matters. For corporations, line managers can make decisions on some matters. Important or strategic issues have to be decided by the CEO or the Board of Directors.
Well it depends on the business and how it has been structured. In most cases the business owners themselves usually set up a team who would go through every decision before it is being accepted. In other cases it could be the board members or highest shareholders.
Do you mean to tell me that twitter as it stands is a sole proprietorship. Why is Elon Musk making all the decisions by himself.
Elon Musk is not making all the decisions in Twitter. But he is the owner and a major shakeholder. Twitter has a lot of investors.
In a company, it falls on the owner to make decisions. But sometimes, the owner will delegate such functions to the manager. If it is a public liability company, the board of directors makes final decisions.
I think it is the director
Probably, If it is in a one-man business he or she can easily make the decision without consulting anybody. But that is not the case in a partnership business.
The board members of a company are the one in charge of making decisions.
If the company has a human resource department, they are the ones who recommend that a particular person be hired or not. They don't have the final decision but their inputs are vital to the final decision.
Yes, in most companies, the final decision really depends on the superior/boss/owner. But if everything relies on superiors, then in my opinion it is less effective, why not just do the division of tasks, for example there is some kind of standard transaction that usually occurs, there is no need to rely on superiors. Example: When a product's stock runs out, then simply restock it based on applicable standards and regulations.
Or you have line mangers that make decisions based on the activities in that line. They must be experienced people who understand the processes of the organization.
