Answer:

(Note please, the background of L.L. Bean was not stated. I am answering on a general note.)

L.L. Bean empowered its employees to make independent decisions that ultimately have financial consequences so as to save time needed to consult superior authorities for directions.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the course of business, some customers might have needs and inquiries that have to be responded to on the spot so that they do not lose their patience and move to other competitors.

When an organization empowers its employees to make independent decisions that might affect the company financially, it is in a bid to serve the customers better by saving their time. This also instills trust and confidence in the company because the employees are knowledgeable of their services.
