Over the course of this class we learned many concepts. They were all important in their own way and each explain why some people act the way they do. One concepts that I found interesting was Max Weber’s Ideal Type Bureaucracy. Weber’s concept is divided into seven parts; division of labor, hierarchy of authority, standard and codified norms, technical competence, disinterested role-enactment, advancement protocol, and extensive record keeping. We can find examples of each of these things everywhere and I would have never noticed these things if it weren’t for this class.
Division of labor is when you separate the work process into a different number of tasks, and each task is performed by a different group of person. This happens a lot in …show more content…
We all have to follow them. Everywhere we go. At my work we have to wear a gray shirt with the El Super logo, with black jeans and black water resistant shoes. If we don’t follow these rules we either get a warning, suspended, or sent home. At school we have to respect our peers and our professors. Our government has its own laws we have to follow and if we don’t we get arrested and thrown into jail. Rules and laws are important because it shows what is tolerable and acceptable and it keeps things in order. The majority of people chose to follow rules and laws because they fear the consequences of breaking them.
Technical competence is technology. Technology is very important because it is constantly advancing and things are becoming more and more technological. If companies aren’t up-to-date with these changes then they will start to fall behind and lose their money and their customers or investors. Things like computers are very important because it helps companies keep all their information in there. They can have all their data at their fingertips and facilitates things for them instead of having them all over the place they can have it all together in one …show more content…

Companies always keep all their files in a secure place and when they have meeting they always pull them out and see what changes to make to their companies to make them even more successful. Doctors always have files of their patients and when their patient gets sick they pull it out and see if any previous illness might have caused it. Extensive record keeping is important because you always have to keep all your information and with technology these days it has become easier to do so.
Max Weber’s ideal type bureaucracy is important to humanity because it shows how the system works. Most people accept the bureaucratic way as the norm and complain saying it isn’t fair. They blame the people on top for it being unfair to the people on the bottom. The fault is in the organization. It is important to me because I’ve never noticed bureaucracy like this. It helped me look at my job differently and see how they
