for the bureaucracy approach Max Weber . Its built on structure, rules, authority and obedience theory tried to explain the emerging around the turn of the century patterns of activity in large companies.
Remarkable is the bad reputation of this rule on a clear structure and designed organization. It is automatically equated with undynamic and stiff and therefore considered inefficient for modern systems of action. The question is whether, at least in a fragile environment precisely this clear command and obedience, not just the principle of Maas Certainty and predictability are at - if any - to impose a clear goal as well.
interesting is Weber's distinction between rule and power in this context and highlights the hierarchical structures and the behavior of superiors a completely different, in my view, to understand the positive aspect.
Weber distinguishes clearly between government on one side and power on the other side:
rule is defined as .. to find the opportunity for specific orders or instructions in a confined group (organization) of human obedience. That's not special, especially the further definition that a classification rule includes, based on the acceptance of the defined group as to the legitimacy of this structure and the statement - that a fundamental consensus!
power, however, has a unique and unpredictable component. The fundamental belief in the correctness of the formulated statement is missing here - and the blind obedience - and to the abuse of power.
Regarding the consultation for the design of an organizational structure that does not is the question whether the bureaucracy approach (based on hierarchical principles) obsolete or not. No he has, in my opinion, not obsolete, but raised the question in how far can the accountability and the underlying be confidence in the system and functioning of an organization structured? Here are asked
clear concepts that take into account that it comprises from the start, the receiver and later command, and the clear definition and communication of a vision, based on which receiver to command and monitor the application of power or domination can.
