    1. The Weberian model appears to be a 'machine theory' and a closed system model taking little account of organisational interactions with the environment.
    2. The structural features of bureaucracy as laid down by Weber might be suitable for routine and repetitive tasks but these would produce dysfunctional consequences in terms of human behaviour if the jobs would involve innovation and creativity.
