From the Paper:

"Many of the negative ramifications of operating within a bureaucratic structure can be overcome. The creation of an informal organizational process within the bureaucracy, while seemingly an odd fit, can help the organization to run smoothly by increasing communication and innovation within the organization. Further, programs like flextime, employee ownership, and employee participation can help to humanize bureaucracies."
