Description of the different management theories Bureaucratic,Bounded Rationality, Economical, Motivational, and Action models

The Bureaucratic Model The bureaucratic model is the basis for the other models it is in the structural frame. Max Weber developed a list of five characteristics that reflect the "ideal type" of bureaucracy. The first characteristic is Division of Labor. Within the bureaucracy there are different specific positions that perform specific jobs. This way the people that do their job can concentrate on their specific task and become skilled in it creating high efficiency …

…People holding this point of view do not trust their subordinates, they feel that giving too much authority to subordinates will change the balance of power. They will have nothing to negotiate with to stay ahead. Problems encountered with this model would be solved through negotiations. The manager would do what they needed to do to keep their power yet give the subordinate a sense of fulfillment. Power is the main point of this theory.
