Bureaucracy (Weber's concept)

Bureaucracy, according to Max Weber, is an organized system of administration characterized by a clear hierarchy, specific rules, and procedures designed to ensure efficiency and consistent decision-making. It involves specialized roles, a formal set of responsibilities, and impersonal treatment of individuals, aiming to create a rational and predictable organization. This structure helps prevent favoritism and promotes uniformity in administration, making organizations like governments and large companies more effective in managing tasks systematically.
