This theory contains two essentials. First, the organization should be structured into a hierarchy and secondly the organization is managed by a set of rules that must be followed by all the employees (Spender, 1996). Hierarchy is the act of arranging the organization according to the authoritative levels of each employee. For instance, the deputy president will always be the president. Each level of the organization reports to the level that is above it.
An example of a well-known bureaucratic organization is the United States army. The army is split into brigades. The brigades are further split into battalions. The battalions are then divided into companies and the companies into platoons. In this structure, the lowest level of management reports to its immediate level and so on.

This theory also is concerned with how decisions are made and how and how this process can be improved.
The advantage of this theory is that all the workers of the organization are involved in the decision-making process, and therefore they see themselves as very important entities in the organization. This gives them some sort of satisfaction and motivation towards their work. However, the implementation of this approach is very difficult since the decision-making process becomes very slow and hence slowing down the effectiveness of the
