c)As one of the most important social theorists in the 20th century and a key member of the German Society of Social Policy from the end of the 19th century to the early 20th century, Weber's ideas and propositions have exerted a lasting influence on the development of social legislation, social policy and academic research in Germany and even Europe. At the same time, the core issues such as values, political issues and national rationality behind the social policies discussed by Weber are still of wide and far-reaching significance to how we look at the development of nation-state social policies under the background of globalization.

While authority is the sanctioned right granted to a person to carry out official duties, power is the possession of authority and control over others' ideas, movements, and actions.
2. Traditional authority: is derived from custom, tradition or established norms and is derived, says Weber, from the concept of patriarchal mastery in the family unit. Other family members respect the rule of inheritance and obey the patriarch, although he has no real means of enforcing obedience.
Charismatic authority: is an authority based on the special personal qualities claimed by and for an individual in order to make the person attractive so that he could influence a large number of people. Originally, it is used in a religious context but now-a-days it is used in all spheres.
Rational-Legal Authority: According to Weber, power made legitimate by laws, written rules, and regulations is termed rational-legal authority. In this type of authority, power is vested in a particular rationale, system, or ideology and not necessarily in the person who implements the specifics of that doctrine.
3.Weber's ideas continue to inform today's sociological theory and are vital to students of courses in organization, management, strategy and entrepreneurship.
