Why do Organizations Become Bureacracy's

The most valuable organizations are begun to solve a problem.

Ideally governments organize agencies to solve perceived problems.

Ideally businesses are created because the organizer percieves a need in society and moves to fill that need.

In reality some organizations solve nothing other than the organizers desire to extract money from others to his benefit.

However, even the most valuable organizations, organized for all the right reasons, tend to gradually decay into inefficient bureacracy's.

Decaying government organizations take up space and suck up money while providing little benefit.

Decaying business entities either die or find new ways to extract money from customers, or government that provide no real benefit to society.

Here are some things I think are true:

The longer an organization exists the more resistant it becomes to new ideas.  This is a reflection of a fact nueroscience is validating that people become more resistant to change as they get older, unless they conciously work at rethinking their beliefs, or some event occurs that causes massive emotional trauma that relates directly to what they do in the organization.  The more successful an organization becomes, the more likely it is to allow that success to validate and harden ideas of what the organization should do.  

New people who are hired into existing organizations tend to be hired, not for their problem solving ability, but for their rote learning ability - their ability to adopt the existing procedures they learn as new hires.  New hires that are problem solvers will self select themselves out of the company after a time to go find a place that allows them to solve problems.  But the rote learners are comfortable with the company.  So over time the company roster fills from the bottom up with rote learners who may be uncomfortable with trying out new ideas, or who are more focused on their own position in the company than the success of the company.
