Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Work procedure gets thwarted

Bureaucratic management

•  Max Weber (1864-1920), is the 'father of the bureaucratic management theory.' Weber was a German sociologist and political economist that viewed bureaucracy in a positive light, believing it to be more rational and efficient than its historical predecessors.
• Weber's theory of bureaucratic management also has two essential elements.
• First, it entails structuring an organization into a hierarchy.
• Secondly, the organization and its members are governed by clearly defined rational-legal decision-making rules.
• Each element helps an organization to achieve goals.
• An organizational hierarchy is the arrangement of the organization by level of authority in reference to the levels above and below it. 

Limitation

• Rigidity: Rules and regulations in a bureaucracy are often rigid and inflexible. 
• Goal Displacement: Rules framed to achieve organizational objectives at each level become an end to themselves. 
• Impersonality: A bureaucratic organization stresses a mechanical way of doing things.

therefore, The main limitation of Bureaucratic management is that Work procedure gets thwarted (Thwart means block achievement of a goal)
