Abstract

This article deals with a critical inspection of the way Marx and Weber had used the concept of "bureaucracy". Then, on this basis and with reference to historical milieu that mediated the establishment of each type of organization, a distinction was made between formal organization and bureaucracy. The resulting point elaborated a wider scope for study of organization. This breading of scope by providing more precision in analysis logically is rejecting the idea, which permanently condemn bureaucracy as a phenomenon in term of organizational pathology.
