Content: Yet, its general connotation is that bureaucratic organizations are governmental and hence “public.” Law
Whether public law or corporate policy, the purpose of administration is to administer and execute that law. It is meant to “extend” the force of that law or policy to all those areas of life that the law is meant to reach. The accounting department of a firm is an administrative agency designed to keep accurate books detailing the firm's income and expenses over time. The accounting department -- or administration -- must remain in its bounds as set by law or policy to retain its legitimacy and focus on its purpose. Professionalism
The modern administrative society is based on the concept of professionalism. The people who staff the agency are meant to be those who are specifically trained in the mission of the law or policy it is meant to execute and oversee. In the federal government, Medicaid, for example, has its own administration of government employees expressly hired and trained to deal with the law and policy as it relates to health insurance, poor relief and dealing with hospitals and doctors. Therefore, an agency like this only works if its employees are professional, with expert knowledge on the laws governing health insurance for poor Americans. Continuity
Law does not make any sense without bureaucracy.
