According to Max Weber an organization is the clear distribution of authority. He describes it as the result of continuous social behavior or more exactly as the result of a leading behavior through administrative staff. A crucial element for this specific conduct is the submissiveness of subordinates. It is expressly clear that he strongly focused on the bureaucratic authority within organizations.
In this term paper a more specific or rather special kind of organization is the subject of the discussion as the main aim of this term paper is to compare the approaches of Max Weber and Henry Mintzberg. During this work both perspectives are presented and explained with their unique backgrounds. In the main part a comparison brings both perspectives together and elaborates the commonalities as well as the differences. This happens with the aim to show that Mintzberg's elaboration can be seen as an advancement to Weber's bureaucracy model.
