<![CDATA[It is no doubt that bureaucracy has an important role in the provision of publicservices. However, for many reasons, the performance of our bureaucracy is still far from what people expect. Its resistance to change, in addition to other unacceptable manners, is a critical factor that makes the bureaucracy unable to perform as expected. The rise of Learning Organization through which a concept of powerful organization formation is offered, is expectedly able to become the leverage for or bureaucracy to overcome its impediments. In essence, learning organization recommends that, in order to be successful like private firms or companies, the bureaucracy needs to accelerate its learning process and adjust itself to the rapid, global change.

Another key aspect is to change the way people manage the bureaucracy.]]>
