Essay Instructions: The essay prompt is:
"Bureaucratic administration means fundamentally the exercise of control on the basis of knowledge. This is the feature of it which makes it specifically rational". Max Weber, The Theory of Social and Economic Organization, 1947, p. 339

Max Weber was the first to formulate the characteristics of bureaucracy in a systematic manner. Write an essay highlighting why bureaucracy might or might not be an ethically proper way to organise.

The essay should go over how bureaucracies are used in businesses and why it is useful, but also the downsides. A brief history of bureaucracies in business would be good, maybe showing successful examples and unsuccessful ones. The paper should try to defend that bureaucracies are useful and can be ethical.

Essay Instructions: Essay topic:
Compare and contrast Weber’s view of modern “bureaucracy” as emblematic of “Legal-Rational Domination” with Foucault’s image of the “carceral” organisation as epitomising “disciplinary power”. To what extent is contemporary society characterised by such forms of power in its various institutions? Illustrate your answer with some examples.

ESSAY QUESTION -
Drawing on the organisational theory of ?bureaucracy? and a discussion of power, you are required to consider how, as a ?human service worker?, you might go about achieving some form of internal organisational change. This might be a change to decision-making processes, or to an aspect of service, or policy.

What strategies of change would you pursue? Who would you seek to influence, persuade, and how? How would you address the issues and challenges presented by certain power relations in the organisation?

Please remember that this question relates to working in ?human service organisations?. Remember to demonstrate knowledge of theories of organisations and power as applied to the example at hand. Demonstrate awareness and application of appropriate strategies to achieve change.


NOTES:
1. When looking at power, discuss the power a bureaucratic hierarchy has over what workers do and over what workers can do with clients or the resources they are allowed to give clients and which groups are allowed to be clients etc.

2. By using the bureaucratic theory of organisation can show how a worker can increase the power of clients in a bureaucratic power structure of an organisation, as most Australian welfare organisations receiving government funding have a bureaucratic theory power structure.

3. This essay is for Australian readers so please use either general examples or Australian examples to emphasise your point.

Kind Regards
