Bureaucracies and austerity: why the savings are so difficult to achieve

Article Abstract:

Many public and private organizations have been forced to reassess their financial position as a result of the relatively severe recession in the early 1980s and the quick end of what had seemed to be periods of infinite growth and prosperity. The austerity campaigns replacing the prosperity of earlier days (the 1960s and 1970s) have led to contraction rather than expansion and the dismantling of the bureaucracies that accompanied the earlier growth. It is shown that bureaucracies react considerably differently to austerity campaigns, such as budget cuts, than businesses regulated directly by the marketplace, and that the behavioral differences and their causes must be understood to avoid friction and frustration in organizations.
