Answer:

Bureaucracy has diverse patterns of activities and interactions, which cannot be accounted by its organization structure.

Explanation:

The informal side of bureaucracy is composed of many day to day activities and participants as well. Such activities may go by ignored, because they do not correspond to the official rules and procedures of bureaucracy.

A good example might be the gossiping news spreading so much faster than the official channel of communications. This situation takes place, because the official channel has to pass the oficial ideology filter; which is purely regulated by the central government.
