Scientific Management
Abstract
Post-Industrial Revolution era was marked by tremendous growth of manufacturing activity with large-scale industrialization. This nevertheless led to unprincipled and unscientific management thinking that you should produce more and more, no matter how. The regular conflicts between the owners and workers that followed, led Winslow Taylor and other thinkers to develop new management thinking which had come to be known as scientific management. This chapter details the concepts and misconceptions of this thinking.
