Weberian Model (Classic Model) Hierarchy: Specialization: Division of labor: Standard operating procedure (SOP) or formalized rules:

Acquisitive Model Not as benign a view Top-level bureaucrats will always try to expand (or at least resist reductions) Budgets and staffs are most visible trappings of power in the public sector Will try to “sell” and protect their products to Congress and the public  Expansion and Turf Wars!

Monopolistic Model Have no competitors Not penalized for inefficiency Little incentive to adopt cost-saving measures or use resources more productively Can be cured by privatization?
