Bureaucracy (Max Weber's concept)

Max Weber's concept of bureaucracy describes a systematic way of organizing large organizations, like governments or companies, to ensure efficiency and order. It relies on clear rules, a hierarchy of authority, specialized roles, and formal records. This structure helps activities run smoothly by reducing confusion and favoritism. Weber viewed bureaucracy as a rational, goal-oriented method of management that promotes fairness, predictability, and accountability, making large-scale operations more effective while maintaining consistency and professionalism.
