Etymology
Bureaucratization comes from the French word bureau meaning 'desk' or 'office' and the ending -ization meaning 'the process of making into'. So, bureaucratization is the process of turning an organization into one run by offices, rules, and officials, which is why it often brings more paperwork and slower decisions.
