Document Summary
In theory, it works because of his principles. Normative: the concept of what bureaucracy should be. 1- hierarchy reporting done through chain of command ->tall organization vs flat where one person is above many others. 2- division of labor specialization specification of jobs with detailed rights, obligations, responsibilities, scope of authority. 4- relatively closed system inputs-> throughputs->outputs back to inputs. 5- codified rules rules are written down and they can be taught everyone knows the rules and they"re stable and easily learned. 6- authority is dominant type of power the authority that comes with the position gets people to do things broader. It doesn"t matter if you don"t like the person, because of their authority, you listen to them. Hard to change, slow, settling disputes, lack of distribution of power, communication. Most of the time it is hierarchical and it is hard to get information. Have to follow routine and law, can"t go against them.
