Book Synopsis Dealing with Dysfunction by : Jorrit de Jong
Download or read book Dealing with Dysfunction written by Jorrit de Jong and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we intervene in the systemic bureaucratic dysfunction that beleaguers the public sector? De Jong examines the roots of this dysfunction and presents a novel approach to solving it. Drawing from academic literature on bureaucracy and problem solving in the public sector, and the clinical work of the Kafka Brigade—a social enterprise based in the Netherlands dedicated to diagnosing and remedying bureaucratic dysfunction in practice, this study reveals the shortcomings of conventional approaches to bureaucratic reform. The usual methods have failed to diagnose problems, distinguish symptoms, or identify root causes in a comprehensive or satisfactory way. They have also failed to engage clients, professionals, and midlevel managers in understanding and addressing the dysfunction that plagues them. This book offers conceptual frameworks, theoretical insights, and practical lessons for dealing with the problem. It sets a course for rigorous public problem solving to create governments that can be more effective, efficient, equitable, and responsive to social concerns. De Jong argues that successfully remedying bureaucratic dysfunction depends on employing diagnostics capable of distinguishing and dissecting various kinds of dysfunction. The “Anna Karenina principle” applies here: all well functioning bureaucracies are alike; every dysfunctional bureaucracy is dysfunctional in its own way. The author also asserts that the worst dysfunction occurs when multiple organizations share responsibility for a problem, but no single organization is primarily responsible for solving it. This points to a need for creating and reinforcing distributed problem solving capacity focused on deep (cross-)organizational learning and revised accountability structures. Our best approach to dealing with dysfunction may therefore not be top-down regulatory reform, but rather relentless bottom-up and cross-boundary leadership and innovation. Using fourteen clinical cases of bureaucratic dysfunction investigated by the Kafka Brigade, the author demonstrates how a proper process for identifying, defining, diagnosing, and remedying the problem can produce better outcomes.

Book Synopsis The Bureaucratic Phenomenon by : Michel Crozier
Download or read book The Bureaucratic Phenomenon written by Michel Crozier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Bureaucratic Phenomenon Michel Crozier demonstrates that bureaucratic institutions need to be understood in terms of the cultural context in which they operate. The originality of the study lies in its association of two widely different approaches: the theory of decision-making in large organizations and the cultural analysis of social patterns of action.The book opens with a detailed examination of two forms of French public service. These studies show that professional training and distortions alone cannot ex plain the rise of routine behavior and dysfunctional vicious circles. The role of various bureaucratic systems appears to depend on the pattern of power relation ships between groups and individuals. Crozier's findings lead him to the view that bureaucratic structures form a necessary protection against the risks inherent in collective action.Since systems of protection are built around basic cultural traits, the author presents a French bureaucratic model based on centralization, strata isolation, and individual sparkle-one that that can be contrasted with an American, Russian, or Japanese model. He points out how the same patterns can be found in several areas of French life: education, industrial relations, politics, business, and the colonial policy. Bureaucracy, Crozier concludes, is not a modern disease resulting from organizational progress but rather a bulwark against development. The breakdown of the traditional bureaucratic system in modern France offers hope for new and fruitful forms of action.
Book Synopsis The Blind Spots of Public Bureaucracy and the Politics of Non‐Coordination by : Tobias Bach
Download or read book The Blind Spots of Public Bureaucracy and the Politics of Non‐Coordination written by Tobias Bach and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to better coordinate policies and public services across public sector organizations has been a major topic of public administration research for decades. However, few attempts have been made to connect these concerns with the growing body of research on biases and blind spots in decision-making. This book attempts to make that connection. It explores how day-to-day decision-making in public sector organizations is subject to different types of organizational attention biases that may lead to a variety of coordination problems in and between organizations, and sometimes also to major blunders and disasters. The contributions address those biases and their effects for various types of public organizations in different policy sectors and national contexts. In particular, it elaborates on blind spots, or ‘not seeing the not seeing’, and different forms of bureaucratic politics as theoretical explanations for seemingly irrational organizational behaviour. The book’s theoretical tools and empirical insights address conditions for effective coordination and problem-solving by public bureaucracies using an organizational perspective.
Book Synopsis Max Weber ́s Theory of Bureaucracy and Its Negative Consequences by : Felix Merz
Download or read book Max Weber ́s Theory of Bureaucracy and Its Negative Consequences written by Felix Merz and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Ergonomics, grade: 1,0, Technical University of Chemnitz (Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften - Professur für Organisation und Arbeitswissenschaft), language: English, abstract: The text at hand deals with Max Weber ́s theory of bureaucracy and its negative consequences in Robert K. Merton ́s functional analysis. The starting point is the description of what Weber understands as rationalization and his conceptualization of the three types of legitimate domination. The purest and most rational type of legal domination is in Weber ́s eyes bureaucracy with its benefits of precision, calculability, controllability and efficiency - in short, with its technical superiority. Weber ́s position concerning bureaucratization is ambivalent, because he also sees the negative consequences in dehumanization and excessive control, which ends in an "iron cage‟. Merton analysis outlines the dysfunctions resulting from bureaucratic structures. The negative consequences he identifies are the displacement of goals, the trained incapacity, over-conformity and esprit de corps of the officials and the depersonalization of relationships.

Book Synopsis The New Case for Bureaucracy by : Charles T. Goodsell
Download or read book The New Case for Bureaucracy written by Charles T. Goodsell and published by CQ Press. This book was released on 2014-02-28 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Goodsell has long taken the position that U.S. bureaucracy is neither a generalized failure nor sinkhole of waste as mythologized by anti-government ideologues. Rather, it is one of the most effective and innovate sets of administrative institutions of any government in the world today. Indispensable to our democracy, it keeps government reliable and dependable to the citizens it serves. However, The New Case for Bureaucracy goes beyond empirically verifying its quality. Now an extended essay, written in a conversational tone, Goodsell expects readers to form their own judgments. At a time when Congress is locked in partisan and factional deadlock, he argues for the increased importance of bureaucrats and discusses how federal agencies must battle to keep alive in terms of resources and be strong enough to retain the integrity of their missions.

Book Synopsis Bureaucracy: Positions And Persons by : Narender Kumar Singhi
Download or read book Bureaucracy: Positions And Persons written by Narender Kumar Singhi and published by . This book was released on 2003-06-01 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BUREAUCRACY: POSITIONS AND PERSONS examines the bureaucratic phenomenon in the Indian setting. Dr. Narendra K. Singhi has carried out a systematic investigation among both governmental and non-governmental bureaucrats with a view to testing the validity of a number of theoretical propositions emanating from the experience of the West. The study compares the Indian reality against the theoretical backdrop provided by Max Weber. Dr. Singhi has focussed on the bureaucrats. He has analysed their social background, role-structure, subcultures, patterns of interactions, value orientations, and their personality. Bureaucrats included in the study represent various levels of the hierarchy, and different job specialisations. It is the conclusion of the author that the newly emerged goals have created a sort of structural lag. Such a lag is found to be dysfunctional. Alien institutions associated with bureaucracy have been culturally screened, and several patterns of adaptation are noticeable, though not yet institutionalised. The book will interest students of sociology, of public administration, and of management. The book is theoretically rich and methodologically sound. Abundance of empirical evidence makes it an interesting reading.
