The disadvantages of bureaucracy

Bureaucracy, also known as bureaucracy, is a hierarchical, departmental and responsible organizational management system. This bureaucratic model has been in a leading position in public management in western countries for a long time and has become an important tool to ensure the orderly development of society. But with the development of the times, its disadvantages began to appear. For example, the bureaucracy is bloated and the administrative cost is too high; Low efficiency, slow response to market signals and public requirements; Institutions and personnel are rigid in thinking, their sense of responsibility is declining, their creativity is insufficient, and so on. In order to adapt to the changes of social life and improve the level of public administration, in the past 20 years, a wave called "new public administration" has spread from European and American countries to the whole world. Traditional public administration adopts fixed and programmed rules and management, while new public administration emphasizes flexible and diverse governance. Governance is not a set of rules or a formal system, but a continuous process. The basis of this process is not control, but coordination. As an administrative management mode, the new public management is diversified, which emphasizes the active participation of the people, not just acting as a passive managed person. In the traditional public management mode, the government is the only subject of public management, and the management function is implemented in the established hierarchical system. Once a political party is in power, it monopolizes power and prohibits power. With the advancement of governance, a large number of non-governmental organizations, such as social groups, interest groups and pressure groups, have emerged. , has become a part of citizens' participation in social management. How the ruling party can play a leading role in this new balance of power, respond to people's demands, coordinate social forces, and constantly face new challenges requires new thinking and new measures in the party's role orientation, ruling mode, and the relationship between the party and the people.
