Abstract:

The administrative power, or executive power, of a modern state is primarily regulated by its law-based system and operates within a hierarchical structure. If administrative execution lacks the necessary intellectual support and wisdom, then efficiency will be reduced. In order to ensure the effectiveness of administrative execution, an appropriate level of intelligence must be applied. With regard to the six major characteristics and three major defects of the hierarchical system, modern states must possess a minimum level of administrative intelligence. However, administrative wisdom is often elusive and difficult to acquire, whereas administrative incompetence frequently manifests itself to varying degrees. Administrators often encounter various degrees of incompetence, which in turn leads to disappointing operational results. Consequently, they must always seek paths for administrative improvement.

Key words: modern State, administrative Intelligence, wisdom, incompetence, keep the bottom line
