Le temps et l’administration

The time of administration, towards a chrono-administration ? The author presents a series of reflexions which might be preliminary to what could and or should be a new chapter of administrative science : chrono-administration, dedicated to the study of relations between administration and time. The current image of administration is that it is always behind time. By showing how administration is also linked up with its present time, if it does not anticipate on its time, the author stresses the fact that this current image has to admit of shades of meaning. Striking an analogy with human beings, the author shows that administration is rooted in the past, while acting in the present and looking forward to the future. Like human beings, administrative Systems are multifold and variant. Each System has its own clock and its own pace
