Examining Hindrance of Bureaucracy on Management Innovation for Organizations

Abstract

This study aims to examine the hindrance of bureaucracy on management innovation, specifically how it affects practice. The study identifies some of the hindrances of bureaucracy on management innovation including: its limitation on what individuals are allowed to bring to their jobs, how it damages organisational effectiveness and its constraints on the new public management practices. The study reflects on the fact that most organisations both in public and private sectors have been ineffective on management innovation because the bureaucratic systems under which they operate are not flexible despite being confronted with very dynamic business/working environment. Innovation in management principles and processes can create long-lasting advantage and high performance. It is recommended that organisations should have well shared vision and mission rather than being organized through hierarchy and fixed procedures. By minimizing bureaucracy, employers will be able to provide conducive environment for innovation within their organizations. Through management innovation, organisation can perform more effectively and efficiently which provides it with a competitive advantage.
