Bureaucracy
Advantages
-
Efficiency
Competency increases; work is completed efficiently under the supervision of immediate supervisors in the hierarchy.
-
Ease of administration
It simplifies administration since the organisation is more properly organised in a structural hierarchy. Because with the huge scale of the organisation, retaining control of the management, making essential modifications as and when required, and introducing a new set of rules as needed are simpler under a bureaucratic structure.
Disadvantages
Red tape
Bureaucracy adheres to a system of rules and regulations. This results in a lack of flexibility and inefficiency.
Change of goals
The process of getting work done in a bureaucratic system is cumbersome and the set of rules and regulations often are given greater importance than the end result.
Paperwork
Even for basic tasks, a large amount of paperwork may be required.
Nepotism
Bureaucratic nepotism is frequently a problem. Managers at the top may prefer their own people and assist them rise faster than more qualified candidates.
A bureaucracy is a complex organisation with numerous systems and processes. The systems and processes that are put in place effectively slow down decision-making. They are intended to ensure uniformity and control inside the organisation. A bureaucracy represents the techniques that are typically formed in governments and large organisations, such as corporations. A bureaucracy is critical to the administration of the entity's laws and regulations.
