I agree with the overall sentiment but perhaps disagree with the idea that bureaucracy is the result of specialization. I tend to think bureaucracy grows as a side effect of network effects. As the number of nodes in a corporate network grows, the interaction depth grows exponentially and processes help manage all those interactions. If there's a high level of specialization, but minimal interaction, there's still no need for a bureaucracy. In theory, you could have a large organization with so many silo'd departments that don't interact, there'd be no need for bureaucracy.
