According to Sociology, bureaucracy is an organizational structure applicable to any type of organization that is characterized by the division of responsibilities, specialization of work, hierarchy, impersonal relationships and regularized procedures that occur within it. The most recurrent examples of bureaucracies, due to the daily life that they present to our lives are: churches, companies, courts, hospitals and schools.
As a consequence of the bad examples of only a few, who do not want to work towards the efficiency of the bureaucratic organization that they integrate and that unfortunately are the ones that persist the most in our minds, it seems a lie but human beings always tend to remember the worst over the good, is that in most of the planet, people have given the word bureaucracy and also those who work in it, an absolutely negative and pejorative connotation.
When one is called bureaucracy, immediately, think of those agencies or state offices that one commonly attends to carry out procedures and in which inefficiency, negligence, poor attention to their employees are the order of the day. Employees who do not know or do not want to answer the questions of citizens, employees who are meeting doing anything but work, the time in hours that it takes to carry out the process that was to be done, employees who, although inefficient, are not fired, infinity of hands, floors and faces through which you have to go to finally achieve the much-appreciated answer to the problem, are some of the most characteristic postcards that will come to mind when you think of bureaucracy.
But in recent years, the bureaucracy not only represents what I was saying in the previous paragraph, although it is the most representative, but also the bureaucracy has moved to large corporations or capitalist companies, as a consequence of the incredible development and specialization of the work that they house, surpassing in some places of the world to the bureaucracies of the state.
Corporate bureaucracy is called this brand new version of the bureaucracy and it integrates the highest-ranking employees of the private sector who hold a monopoly of certain knowledge and public relations.
