BACKGROUND & DEFINITION
OF BUREAUCRATIC MANAGEMENT THEORY
Bureaucracy
“ a system for controlling or managing a country, company, or
organization, that is operated by a large number of officials
employed to follow rules carefully”
ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS
OF BUREAUCRATIC MANAGEMENT THEORY
Formal Rules & Standard operating procedures and systems are followed.
Regulations
Basic rules and regulations shall be established to guide employees in the performance
of their tasks and to convey to them the culture the organization wants to maintain. Yet,
these are not too rigid to still give room for creativity and innovation.
Organization shall have clear hierarchy of authority but the level of management or the
chain of command is limited. Unnecessary managerial positions in the organization
shall be omitted. This is to avoid delays in decision-making and wastage of resources
such as time & supplies.
The management shall devise and implement strategies to cope with the changing
environments, e.g. investing with tools and systems that will help streamline
processes and lighten task difficulty.
