Bureaucratic Management Theory

The Bureaucratic management emphasizes on an ideal organization. Max Weber is one of the major contributors to bureaucratic management. According to Weber, most organizations are inefficiently managed, with decisions rooted in loyalty and personal relations. He proposed a form of management characterized by hierarchy, the division of labor, formalized rules, impersonality, and promotion and selection of employees based on their ability which could result in efficient management. Max Weber also explained that the manager’s authority must be devised by the position held by the managers in the organizational hierarchy and not on the tradition.
