Bureaucratic inertia
 | The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (May 2024) |
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.
Examples[edit]
Government[edit]
The United States Department of Agriculture has offices in almost all U.S. counties, even though only 14% of counties have valid farms or existing agricultural relevancy.[3][better source needed]
