- catalog abstract ""Paul du Gay makes a case for the continuing importance of bureaucracy. Taking inspiration from the work of Max Weber, du Gay launches a defence of 'the bureaucratic ethos' and highlights its continuing relevance to the achievement of social order and good government in liberal democratic societies." "Through an engagement with both historical and contemporary critiques of bureaucracy and a careful examination of the policies of organizational change within the public services today, du Gay develops a major reappraisal of the so-called 'traditional' ethic of office. In doing so he highlights the ways in which many of the key features of bureaucratic conduct that came into existence a century ago still remain essential to the provision of responsible democratic government." "As a contribution to organization theory, The Bureaucratic Ethos will be for students and researchers of organization everywhere and useful as a supplement to courses on management and culture studies."--Jacket.".
