Paper Assignment: Entrepreneurs
Organizations, in spite of their size and bureaucracies, contribute to the development and use of technology. Organizations coordinate individual efforts and skills so that these tasks can be accomplished. Coordination is usually accomplished through the application of the following: bureaucratic principles, specialization, formalization (the use of rules, regulations and SOPs), and hierarchical authority. Bureaucracies rely on rules, regulations, and formal methods of management to get their employees to do what needs to be done. But inventors need freedom, which puts them at odds with bureaucratic procedures.
