Bureaucracy

Bureaucracy is a structured system of administration characterized by a hierarchy, formal rules, and specialization to manage large organizations, particularly governments and corporations. It is designed for efficiency and order, with officials appointed based on merit rather than favoritism, to ensure consistent application of laws and procedures. While essential for providing services, it can sometimes be criticized for being slow and inflexible.
