Organization Evaluation of JTF FA

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
In looking at a variety of theories, and with a focus on bureaucracy and organizational culture, the organization known as Joint Task Force-Full Accounting (JTF-FA), an entity that tries to  find Americans who are deemed missing in action will be utilized. The organization has a noble cause, and while one can construe their mission as rather hit or miss, or  fruitless, the organization is run like a well-oiled machine. Much like sociologist Max Weber proposed in the nineteenth century, JTF-FA has seemingly incorporated some of the strategies while enhancing it  with its own culture and zest. In evaluating this organization, it is helpful to point out the popular organizational theories. II. Organizational Theory Webers prototype of an  ideal bureaucracy is that there would exist a precise hierarchy of authority, there would be written rules, officials would be salaried full time employees and that the tasks performed would  be separated from their personal lives (McLeish, 1993). Finally, the officials would not own the material resources used in Webers view (1993). Weber described what everyone in America has come  to expect from big government. Any call to the Internal Revenue Service for example, will plug the taxpayer into the lowest part of the hierarchy. While Webers idea in practice  may not work as well as many would like, it should be kept in mind that Weber intended for it to be a prototype and the exact design was not  to be duplicated necessarily. However, it does appear that to a great extent organizations like the I.R.S. embrace these formal rules, requisite numerous written documents and institute procedures of control,  all elements that are in Webers design. In such organizations, there should be an adequate span of control, or whatever number of people a manager can effectively supervise.
