Bureaucracy and Formal Organizations Characteristics of Bureaucracy - Max Weber, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft , part III, chap. 6, pp. 650-78. Weber's Description of Bureaucracy - Weber's interest in the nature of power and authority, as well as his pervasive preoccupation with modern trends of rationalization, led him to concern himself with the operation of modern large-scale enterprises in the political, administrative, and economic realm. Bureaucratic coordination of activities, he argued, is the distinctive mark of the modern era. Bureaucracies are organized according to rational principles.

According to a statement by President Obama: “The 2009 H1N1 pandemic continues to evolve. The rates of illness continue to rise rapidly within many communities across the nation, and the potential exists for the pandemic to overburden healthcare resources in some localities.” Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Dr. Thomas Frieden stated that millions have been infected with H1N1 in the United States, more than 20,000 have been hospitalized, and more than 1,000 have died. Dr. Frieden explained although 11.3 million H1N1 vaccines have been disseminated in the United States, healthcare providers have experienced vaccine shortages because of manufacturing delays.

The painting that opens this week's discourse is my impression of our Sociology of Agencies class last fall. The funny way we ended up sitting along the wall of that huge room, instead of layering chairs in the circle. And the crazy way we all popped in and out of the Naked Space. That gives me pause as I put together reading lists this Fall. In the reality of governance and substantive, and even illocutionary discourse, it doesn't seem to work to structure a lesson plan. We talked about that at ASA in San Francisco with Amy Swiffer from Canada. As soon as you try to standardize behavior, capture it to be sure that you can keep replicating just the way it first happens, it evaporates like gravity slithering over the edege of the brane. (Remind me to put up reference - it's a real theory.) This is the iron hand of bureaucracy, where dictating the official response that the whole bureaucracy is to give to keep things running smoothly, and incidentally to render workers fungible, we loose the heart of the whole thing.

Email Alerts Search this journal Advanced Journal Search » An Approach to the Study of Bureaucracy C. R. Hinings D. S. Pugh D. J. Hickson C. Turner Abstract Sociology needs precise, comparative, reliable data. This requires the splitting down of unitary `grand' concepts into operationally defined variables, fashioned to attack particular problems, and amenable to multivariate statistical analysis. This approach can be exemplified in the study of bureaucracy by the development of scaleable dimensions of organization structure such as specialization . This concept has been operationally defined, and a comparative analysis across 52 work organizations of the degree of `functional specialization' and of `role specialization' within each function, has yielded 17 scales on which to base a profile, characteristic of each organization. An `overall specialization scale', obtained by factor analysis, gives a range of scores in the sample from (no specialists) to 87 (an extremely high degree of role specialization within the organization). Using size and technology as independent variables, a prediction analysis gives a multiple correlation with overall role specialization of 0-81.

Max Weber's Texts Sociology of World Religions Part I. Western Civilization Viewpoint (35 k) Weber focuses on the uniqueness of Western Civilization. The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism His best-known work. It argues that modern rational capitalism originated in the ethos of ascetic Protestantism. He unveils the paradoxical outcome that the Protestant ethic of vocational and methodical conduct of life unintentionally gave birth the spirit of capitalism. The Protestant Sects and the Spirit of Capitalism (58 k) Weber describes the traveling impression of the United States, and sees its social foundation in the Protestant sects. Part II. World Religions Introduction (105 k) Comparative outline of economic ethics of five world religions. Sociology of Confucianism and Taoism It deals with sociological foundations and dynamic of Confucianism and Taoism though Chinese history. He contrasts Confucian rational ethos of world-accommodation with Puritan's rational ethos of world-reformation. The Rejection of the World and Theodicy (104 k) Genuine salvation religion rejects and confronts to the value of the world. Weber awakens unavoidable tention between religious value and worldly activities.

If the team tracks a consumer to her home but she won't let them in, they can remotely activate a buzzer in the detergent box so that it starts beeping. And if the team takes too long to arrive, and the consumer has already opened the box to see if she's a winner or just do laundry, she'll find, along with the GPS device and less detergent than expected, a note explaining the promotion and a phone number to call. adage.com Categories Business Culture Ethics Language ...
