- Weberian civil service is hierarchically organized and viewed as the most efficient and rational way of organizing.
- Weberian characteristics of bureaucracy are clear, defined roles and responsibilities, a hierarchical structure and respect for merit.
- Many aspects of modern public administration go back to him and a classic, hierarchically organised civil service of the Continental type is called "Weberian civil service". [98] As the most efficient and rational way of organising, bureaucratisation for Weber was the key part of the rational-legal authority and furthermore, he saw it as the key process in the ongoing rationalisation of the Western society.
- Weber listed several preconditions for the emergence of the bureaucracy: The growth in space and population being administered, the growth in complexity of the administrative tasks being carried out and the existence of a monetary economy – these resulted in a need for a more efficient administrative system. [99] Development of communication and transportation technologies made more efficient administration possible (and popularly requested) and democratisation and rationalisation of culture resulted in demands that the new system treat everybody equally.
- Weber's ideal bureaucracy is characterised by hierarchical organisation, by delineated lines of authority in a fixed area of activity, by action taken (and recorded) on the basis of written rules, by bureaucratic officials needing expert training, by rules being implemented neutrally and by career advancement depending on technical qualifications judged by organisations, not by individuals

- Decentralized organizations tend to utilize many channels of information flow, allowing for more open communication between group members.
- Decentralized organizations are likely to operate in an environment characterized by less rigid policy guidelines and encourage broader communication of information.

- Centralization is the concentration of span of control, decision making, and communication within an organization.
- Centralized organizations typically require that communications flow through a central person or location.
- One of the distinct advantages to the centralized approach to organization and management is that it allows for greater control and is particularly useful in hierarchical organizations that have standardized processes and where the emphasis in operations is on cost savings and better quality control.
- There are several disadvantages to centralization, particularly with regard to communications, in that the amount of information can potentially overwhelm the central hub (person or department) that processes this information.
-
- This is epitomized in the fact that a classic, hierarchically-organized civil service is still called a "Weberian civil service. "
