Bureaucratic inertia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bureaucratic inertia is the supposed inevitable tendency of bureaucratic organizations to perpetuate the established procedures and modes, even if they are counterproductive and/or diametrically opposed to established organizational goals.[1] This unchecked growth may continue independently of the organization's success or failure.[2][better source needed] Through bureaucratic inertia, organizations tend to take on a life of their own beyond their formal objectives.
