On Marx Weber's Theory Of Bureaucracy

The theory of bureaucracy was proposed and thoroughly studied by Marx Web. Despite of the study on this issue made by others prior to him, the theory didn't pronounce its existence as a systematic one until Web. After him, the issue of bureaucracy had been the most striking in the academic research of the 20th century, on which nearly all famous thinkers of that century had made their comments. As a traditionally organizational mode suited for industrializing society, bureaucracy could exist reasonably. Weber introduced it to emphasize rule, ability and knowledge, which in fact offered an efficient and rational administrative system to society. An ideal administrative organization should be based on rationality-legal rights. The more it reduced the personal, irrational and unpredictable factors, the more it developed in Weber's view. His ideal administrative organization has been applied universally to the extent that nearly all the social organizations have adopted it. Since Weber's theory is more of the conclusion of social practice rather than an innovation of the administrative theory, when we rethink it, we appreciate its attribution to practice more than to theory. But along with the development of modern society, its drawback has been exposed day by day. since 1970s'the rational official system could not have an active response to the post-industrial society because of its abuses Consequently, most Western advanced countries started the administration reform against the officialism. Because the developing stages between China and the West are different and the officialism in China is still at its beginning and we can't banish the rational officialism, so we should further perfect it. We should further perfect modern bureaucracy and select the essence of new management to develop China's administration.
