BUREAUCRACY 101
MAX WEBER DEFINED A BUREAUCRAT AS:

• He is personally free and appointed to his position on the basis of conduct


• He exercises the authority delegated to him in accordance with impersonal rules, and his loyalty is enlisted on behalf of the faithful execution of his official duties


• His appointment and job placement are dependent upon his technical qualifications


• His administrative work is a full-time occupation


• His work is rewarded by a regular salary and prospects of advancement in a lifetime career


• He must exercise his judgment and his skills, but his duty is to place these at the service of a higher authority. Ultimately he is responsible only for the impartial execution of assigned tasks and must sacrifice his personal judgment if it runs counter to his official duties.


• Bureaucratic control is the use of rules, regulations, and formal authority to guide performance. It includes such things as budgets, statistical reports, and performance appraisals to regulate behavior and results.

To take this class means you feel the need to govern others in an effective manner. Bureaucrats are those like the U.S. Presidents or U.K. Prime ministers. For those of you that like power? Take this class.
