Secondary groups entail two or more people who are involved in impersonal, touch-and-go relationships. Instrumental ties predominate in secondary groups. In-Groups and Out-Groups. The concepts of in-group and out-group Reference Groups. Reference groups provide the models we use for appraising and shaping our attitudes, feelings, and actions.

50. Bureaucracy Then there were mice sociology programs proposed. Word of the mouse sociologyprogram leaked out, and instantly there were racist charges. http://www.geocities.com/wendelldunn/bureaucratic_procession.htm

The Bureaucratic Procession If the IRS was the loser, were there any winners? There certainly were among the agencies in the bureaucratic spectrum. Once the Sex Tax Concept was established on the national scene, which took place much more rapidly than might have been expected for such a novel concept, the various departments began to vie for a piece of the action. The constant television exposure of congressional committee hearings, particularly of the House Ways and Means Committee, had ensured frenzied activity among the governmental agencies to gain the spotlight. Other congressional committees were also getting into the act where they could. For example, the Military Affairs Committee investigated the effect of the Sex Tax concept on the conduct of military operations. With alacrity, prepared testimony was presented to the congressional committees, displacing testimony with less video appeal. Who wanted to hear about military cost overruns when the effect of the new taxation on the fighting qualities of the military man could be investigated? How much more interesting were the problems of taxing overseas military personnel for sexual activities, particularly when their dependents were at home! Should there be loss of consortium compensation? Every World War II veteran was interested in the overseas sex scene! Health, Education and Welfare had felt that there was a significant issue here. The publicity barrage was enormous, and HEW issued notification to the press that they would hold hearings on the Sex Tax bill.

Bureaucracy by Max Weber An Article Review by Mark D. Schauer Last Update: October 27, 1997 This article contains Max Weber's partial blueprint of a democratic bureaucracy's structure and is one of his classical writings. I will determine why the article appears in the class reader, highlight major points of his article, provide a brief discussion about the author, and relate the article to current, local bureaucracies. The article which appears in the reader Public Policy , The Essential Readings is actually (8) pages of a (49) page chapter titled "Bureaucracy" in the book From Max Weber: Essays in Sociology by Gerth and Mills. This article is the first two out of fourteen subchapters and they address the characteristics of a democratic bureaucracy and the "position of the official". The writing was translated from German and editors Gerth and Mills admitted that this was no easy feat. Grammar and style had to be changed because reading Weber's writing style was difficult compounded by the fact that German does not always translate well into English. Why is this article included in the reader?

PARIS - MAY 1998 Back Michel Crozier Michel Crozier, internationally renowned sociologist, is the founding father of organizational sociology in France. In his path-breaking analysis of two public bureaucracies -in a clerical agency in the French postal bank and the plants of the French Tobacco Monopoly - Crozier develops a highly original interpretation of bureaucracy. For him, bureaucracy is not the inevitable outcome of the development of large organizations. It is to be understood as the product of the past and of our incapacity to manage in non-bureaucratic ways the power-relations and the conflicts which exist in all organizations. This analytical approach was developed and formalized in a major theoretical work, "Actors and Systems" (English translation, 1980, University of Chicago Press) written in collaboration with Erhard Friedberg. This book has been quite influential both with organizational analysts and managers.

Undergraduate Courses Sociology of Organisations Dr. Philip H.J. Davies General Information Course Structure Recommended Readings Aims of the Course This course is intended to provide students with a fundamental understanding of two main issues: the role of organizations in society on the one hand, and the sociological nature of organizations themselves on the other. In order to do this, the course will trace the development of major trends in the study of organizations and ideas about how organizations function, how they develop, and what role organizations play in economic and social life. The course is also concerned with the practical implications which come from attemtps to apply or employ the various doctrines or theories. The course will provide students with conceptual tools for the understanding and analysis of organisations, and a broad grasp of the issues and debates in current organisational theory and practice. Objectives of the Course: There are a number of concrete themes in the course of which students should try to develop a command. These include: 1) The distinction between description and prescription in theories of organisation: A pervasive distinction which runs through the literature on organisations is between theories of how organisation actually work and how they ought to work . Some authors are concerned with merely describing a state of affairs, while others are seek to promote particular methods or doctrines of organisational design and practice. Ideally, students should try to recognise where differences and misunderstandings arise where

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 ... Chapter 17 Chapter 8: The Nature of Specialization The world we live in is much more specialized than it was for previous generations. For example, nowadays a car mechanic who can fix one problem may not be able to fix a different problem because it falls outside his area of expertise. Similarly, graduate students earn degrees in surprisingly small areas of study. Strictly speaking, the world is not one large bureaucracy, but it does exhibit some of the characteristics of one, including specialization. Further investigate Max Weber's ideas about bureaucracy on the Web at http://geocities.com/CollegePark/Quad/5889/weber.htm Write a three-page essay in which you offer an opinion as to why the world is becoming more specialized. What other characteristics does the world share with a bureaucracy? How are people trying to change this structure?

SOCIAL GROUPS, FORMAL ORGANIZATION, BUREAUCRACY AND WORK: CHAPTER 4 In this chapter, we examine the actual forms of social relationships, how people within society are organized into many different types of relationships, groups, and organizations. The Nature and Types of Social Groups - The understanding of social groups is of primary importance to sociologists. People live in groups, and through their activities within groups, social life is sustained. We are all born into and spend our entire lives within groups, as social animals who depend on others for the satisfaction of our needs. Groups give meaning and support to the individual from childhood into adulthood. Human traditions, customs, standards of behavior, and values are found within social groups, are the products of human interaction within groups, and also form the basis of organized social life. Groups are organized to reflect society’s values, customs, and standards of behavior, when then are reflected in the individual. The social group is a unit consisting of two or more people who come into meaningful contact for a purpose. It is different from an
