This paper is an examination of Herbert Kaufman's contributions to the field of public administration. Through a review of articles written by or about Kaufman on the subject of organizations, public administration, and bureaucracy, his ideas on the role, function, management, culture, and contributions of public administration and administrative processes are explored.

From the Paper:

"In the final section of his essay, he introduces three models to help explain how theorists' try to explain bureaucratic organizations. The organic entity model states that the organization acts as though it were a living organism devising ways to maximize a specified hierarchy of values; the organization as a socioeconomic aggregate of individuals and groups working together to cohesive entity and an organizational output. The third model treats organizations as analogous to living things, which is subject to the dynamics of evolutionary change and advancements."
