Weber's Theoretical Affirmation of Bureaucratic System

The term “bureaucratic system contains two meanings. What Weber used in his historical analysis is the term in its broad sense. It includes the ancient Chinese and Western versions of bureaucracy. What modern scholars use in their studies, on the other hand, is the term in its narrow sense, which refers to bureaucracy developing along with modern society, that is, the modern version of bureaucracy.The author points out that Weber had contributed a great deal by formulating the theoretical model. He summarized the form of bureaucratic organizations, and worked out principles for the bureaucratic organization to exist and function. This explains why many people consider Weber the designer of the bureaucratic system.
