- Abstract
The article presents a response to the article "Building Better Bureaucracies," by Paul S. Adler. The author takes issue with the manner in which Adler describes bureaucracy, as situational in nature, and to implement an enabling bureaucracy rather than a coercive one is simply a matter of deemphasizing the technical structure of an organization. The author advocates examining the situational triggering mechanisms that lead to the creation of bureaucratic systems, since bureaucratic elements are present in every organization.
