Yes!
Naturally, a critical part of a manager's job is to decide what, when, and 
to whom to delegate.  Also, studies of how organizations are evolving are
saying that in order to become more productive and to remain competitive 
organizations need to find ways to move the decision making closer to where 
the work is being done, i.e. to lower levels of management.  It seems to me 
that providing systems that make this easier for organizations is one of 
the goals of groupware.

Should the manager remain part of the decision?  I imagine there are cases
where the decision will be delegated, and other cases where the manager
only wishes to involve the junior in the decision process.  Neither case
should be excluded.
