Management in GovernmentSummary: Through every Government Department has its share of bureaucrats and aristocrats or Technocrats; no Government Department has ever thought of employing qualified M.B.A. to implement latest management concepts to simplify age old/routine procedures and to discard/modify outdated systems. All Bureaucrats, Aristocrats or Technocrats are a good "Raw Material" for becoming good M.B.A. However, what all they lack is formal education and specialized training to develop the skills. This is firstly because they all are neck deep busy in their unavoidable routine work and secondly are also quite advanced in age and thus have hardly any flair towards learning and implementing latest scientific management techniques. (Wh ich may be available at throw away price/negligible efforts but would reaprich dividends). Thirdly, they are also quite ignorant about enormous difficulties, a common man has to encounter during his journey to their offices (may be because they hardly come in direct contact with any common man). It is quite possible that certain ideas or suggestions included in this article might have already been included in certain articles in past in same or similar form. The suggestions included in the article are based on my about 30 years experience in Ministry of Defence, Department of Defence Production, DGOA and especially my association with shop-floor workers in ordnance factories. Certain tricks have been noticed in some private industries and some others based on general wind/trends in the competitive management. - Reproduced.
