In such a traditional society, to change societal behavior requires first to transform the behavior of the bureaucratic state. Tension arises between bureaucracies and people in them. Bureaucracies through their control systems achieve goals by maintaining order and stability at all costs. Yet, the bureaucratic control systems are operated by people who also have a need to create to achieve goals and risk change and instability in order to grow. Control systems inevitably foster the emergence of shadow or informal systems that make the bureaucracies ultimately ineffective and a burden to future growth.
