Bureaucracy refers to a body of administrative officials, systems, and procedures designed to facilitate the objective administration of a social system. The German sociologist Max Weber, while not inventing the concept of bureaucracy (it originated in France at the beginning of the 19th century), is generally recognized as making the most original contribution to its development.
