The term "bureaucracy" was not coined until the mid 18th century but organized and consistent administrative systems are much older. It is observed that the first definitive emergence of bureaucracy was in ancient Sumer, where an emergent class of scribes used clay tablets to administer the harvest and allocate its spoils. Similarly, ancient Egypt also had a hereditary class of scribes that administered the civil service bureaucracy. The Roman Empire was seen to be administered by a hierarchy of regional proconsuls and their deputies.

7. (c)

The concept McDonaldization is given by the American sociologist George Ritzer in his book The McDonaldization of Society (1993). He defines McDonaldization as 'the process by which the principles of the fast-food restaurant are coming to dominate more and more sectors of American society as well as the rest of the world.' Ritzer observes four primary components of McDonaldization: efficiency, calculability, predictability and control.
