In
Week 3
, we highlighted important issues that arise within the context
of bureaucracies that influence the effectiveness of a
bureaucratic organization. Characteristics of a bureaucracy were
examined, as well as how different forms of group structure
play important roles in the operations of a bureaucratic
organization. Bringing in the importance of policy goals and
how those goals are integrated into the actions of a bureaucracy,
we also explored how effectiveness of an organization could be
assessed by measuring its attainment of a preferred balance in
the four policy goals. Other issues examined this week included
various decision making processes and the centrality of
communication.
Bureaucracy grew because society needed to do things—build
roads, educate students, collect taxes, fight battles, and dispense
justice. A dichotomy of views exists about bureaucracies. First,
they are needed to achieve government’s mission—service to
the public. Second, they are distrusted and disliked by the
public they serve because of impersonal rules and red tape. In
your discussion, explain what can be done about the public
hostility toward bureaucracy. How can these organizations
become more effective and responsive to the public? How does
the type of decision-making process influence effectiveness of
bureaucratic organizations?

Characteristics of a bureaucracy were examined, as well as how different forms of group structure play important roles in the operations of a bureaucratic organization. Bringing in the importance of policy goals and how those goals are integrated into the actions of a bureaucracy, we also explored how effectiveness of an organization could be assessed by measuring its attainment of a preferred balance in the four policy goals.
