Bureaucracy has long been a cornerstone of advanced industrial
societies, and a defining feature of modernity. At the same time,
many commentators from all quarters argue that it is on the wane in
this post-this or that world; or that if it isn't, it should be
dismantled to free up organizations, enterprise, and innovation.
But do we live in a more or less bureaucratic world? Do
contemporary forms and means of communication undermine or modify
bureaucracy, or does technology create new 'iron cages' and forms
of control? If bureaucratic models of organization are abandoned,
do we run risks of organizational failure and inequity? Are there
certain moral, professional, and social values associated with
bureaucratic models? This book explores these issues in different
organizational contexts - public administration, the National
Health Service, the modern firm and corporation - and offers new
insights into enduring questions. It will be an invaluable resource
for academics, researchers, and students in organization studies,
management, public administration, and sociology. The volume will
also appeal to managers, planners, and policy makers who deal with
these challenges.
