How have structural approaches been criticized?

What will be an ideal response?


The humanist charge is that the structural approaches are authoritarian and that their boundaries stifle the creativity of the human beings who are the organization’s life blood. Pluralists charge that the classical and bureaucratic models ignore the political system, give an unreal portrayal of the executive branch, and conflict with democratic values. The third-party approach maintains that as third parties are increasingly utilized, traditional patterns of hierarchy and authority are uprooted and displaced.
