Bureaucracy and Administrative Management
Classical management theory is based on developing universal management principles for various situations.
It’s broken down into three emphases. * SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT Theory which focuses on production work flows and productivity of individual workers, * ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT THEORY which focuses on the total organization.
The emphasis is on the development of managerial principles rather than work methods.
* BUREAUCRATIC MANAGEMENT THEORY which focuses on strict implementation of rules and regulation, hierarchy systems in achieving maximum efficiency.
Bureaucratic Theory by Max Weber
Bureaucratic Theory was developed by a German Sociologist and political economist Max Weber (1864-1920). According to him, bureaucracy is the most efficient form of organisation. The organisation has a well-defined line of authority. It has clear rules and regulations which are strictly followed.
In the late 1800s, Max Weber disliked that many European organizations were managed on a “personal” family‐like basis and that employees were loyal to individual supervisors rather than to the organization. He believed that organizations should be managed impersonally and that a formal organizational structure, where specific rules were followed, was important. In other words, he didn 't think that authority should be based on a person 's personality. He thought authority should be something that was part of a person 's job and passed from individual to individual as one person left and another took over. This nonpersonal, objective form of organization was called a BUREAUCRACY.
