In 2013, Malaysia was the eighth largest furniture exporter in the world and ranked third in Asia with the products exported to more than 180 countries around the world. The success of Malaysia’s furniture industry has always been associated with the abundance of natural resources—rubberwood. Realising this, the Malaysian government has set an annual growth rate of 6.5 percent for the furniture industry. This growth percentage will eventually allow the industry to achieve an export value of RM53 billion (US$14.93 billion) by the year 2020 as outlined in the National Timber Industry Policy. Economic downturn proves to be challenging to the industry. However, it has remained competitive due to strong global demand for wood-based furniture. Business-friendly environment also contributed to the success of the industry as the government provides tax exemption (pioneer status companies) and investment tax allowance. Coupled with good quality products and demand, the Malaysian furniture industry continues its growth
China and Japan’s housing industry has slowed down and that industry is a major consumer of lumber. As a result of this, two of Canada’s largest lumber exporters have slowed their purchases.

In the late 1700’s, when America just established its own government, there weren’t as many bureaucracies as there are today. Many factors contributed to the increase in bureaucracies, such as the size of the government, population, and economy. FDR, with his New Deal that created thousands of new jobs (many being part of different agencies and corporations), helped to increase the size of bureaucracies. Just like in the past, there were things that hadn’t existed until today. In the future, there will be things that wasn’t heard of today.
An advantage to one agency within the federal bureaucracy implementing a national policy is the accessibility to subject matter experts within the agency. With experts at hand, the bureaucracy implementing the national policy can make indiscriminate and informed decisions regarding the policy. This also allows the experts within that bureaucracy, who have the knowledge of the issues and policy, to make informed decisions when creating policies that are aimed to promote effective implementation of that national policy. One of the disadvantages of having a national policy implemented by one agency of the federal bureaucracy is that the bureaucracy is subject to control and influenced by the president, who can rearrange a bureaucracy’s organizational

Bureaucracy, Almost everyone deals with bureaucracy every day in one way or another and even if you do not personally deal with a bureaucratic official today your activities are being monitored by a bureaucratic system somewhere, but despite the fact, most people still have very little knowledge of how it works and its significance.

Adele Myers 16148886 Public Administration PA 4021 Politics and Public Administration How did Max Weber’s theory of bureaucracy have a major impact on the development of public administration systems? Illustrate your answer with examples. German sociologist Max Weber (1864-1920) made a lasting contribution to organisation theory. His analysis of an ‘ideal type’ bureaucracy has been criticised and refined, but it remains the most quoted starting point for the study of large organisations, particularly in the public sector. The word ‘bureaucracy’ has many meanings, to political scientists it is a system of government by ‘bureaux’ of officials.

Knott and Miller present a number of dysfunctions that are present within bureaucracies. A few types of dysfunction are goal displacement, trained incapacity and dual systems of authority (Knott & Miller, 1987, p. 110-1). According to Knott and Miller, goal displacement occurs when a rigidity cycle starts to produce greater and greater emphasis is put on the rules, rather than the actual purpose of the organization as a whole (Knott & Miller, 1987, p. 110). In consequence, goal displacement means that employees replace a concern for organizational rules and procedures in the place of organizational goals. In turn, rules and procedures loose their effectiveness and constructive purpose (Knott & Miller, 1987, p. 110)
Sociologist Max Weber’s statement that bureaucracy is the distinctive mark of the modern era clearly describes a bureaucratic type of structure now intrinsic in public sector organizations. This type of structure which has been termed by theorist J. Donald Kingsley (1949) as a "Representative Bureaucracy", basically speaks of public workforces that are representative of the people in terms of race, ethnicity, and gender. In other words, a Representative Bureaucracy, is more or less "an assessment and reconstruction of public sector organizations for the sole purpose of ensuring that all groups in society are equally represented" (Duada, 1990). Thus, in relation to this definition and many other similar constructs, one can clearly see why that
Many aspects of public education are problematic. For example, the usefulness in grading systems (other than IB schools) are questionable. It cages up creativity and makes the students unmotivated. Also many times the grading system is just wrong. When students write something and give it to the teacher to grade sometimes they can get a horrible grade.
The German sociologist Max Weber studied the bureaucratisation of society. His critical study became one of the most enduring parts of his work. It was Weber who began the studies of bureaucracy and whose works led to the popularization of this term.
