The Principles of Scientific Management

Description:

President Roosevelt in his address to the Governors at the White House, prophetically remarked that "The conservation of our national resources is only prelimi-nary to the larger question of national efficiency." The whole country at once recognized the importance of conserving our material resources and a large movement has been started which will be effective in accomplishing this object. As yet, however, we have but vaguely appreciated the importance of "the larger question of increasing our national efficiency." We can see our forests vanishing, our water-powers going to waste, our soil being carried by floods into the sea; and the end of our coal and our iron is in sight. But our larger wastes of human effort, which go on every day through such of our acts as are blundering, ill-directed, or inefficient, and which Mr. Roosevelt refers to as a, lack of "national efficiency," are less visible, less tangible, and are but vaguely appreciated.

Everyone should read this book, whatever walk of life they are in. Put it on the Christmas list! Great read

5.0 out of 5 stars A 'must-read' for every business student and manager

J.F. · 31 January 2014

This is a classic book which launched new practises in human resource management. Like many other tools, the principles outlined in the book can be used productively or unproductively. The lessons and the tools are there; how they are used depends on the maturity and ethics of the manager.

This book was bought as additional reading for Ergonomic studies.Simply so much is written quoted and discussed about Taylor that his message is lost amongst the volume of associated comment. This book is worth buying just to read his original principles in his prose. The message is his, but after reading you can better decide on your own interpretation of his work and marry it to the considerable comment already available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vital for any potential manager

Although this book is a bit hsrd to read, it is well worth as an introduction Time and otion Study or what becamr known as Work Study.

If you are buying this you know what to expect. No less dry than when it was written but still a referred work. Readable on Kindle but will remain with you only as a reference work.

Basic reading for anyone setting out on a management course - although the ideads are older, they formed a great foundation for what we do now

It is a great book. It is much better than reading information about his theories from journals. A lot of the journals written on him are biased, a lot of them mainly just don't take into account the time that the book was written.It is definitely a must have book for academics, although some of his ideas are a little bit dated.

Intéressant

Livre très intéressant ... vu l'année qu'il a été publié et regardant aujourd'hui les problèmes que nous avons dans l'industrie on se sent vivre toujours les mêmes difficultés. L'auteur est visionnaire dans sa description et il présente une vue scientifique du management.

Brief and Good

You can read this book quickly and the ideas in it will show you something about human development and changes in our modern age. After I read this book I read many more books on time and labor.

A must-read business book

D.B.M. · 27 September 2009

I am neither a scholar nor a student required to read Taylor. Instead, I am an IT consultant and MBA who wanted to go back and fill in some of my literature gaps. I have read many books that refer to Taylor's Scientific Management in the context of time and motion studies, and outmoded commant-and-control management. Having now read the book, I am pleased at what a thoughtful and inciteful piece it really is.It seems that Taylor is outlining the fundamentals of workflow management involving a large component of human labor. He includes concepts we might today refer to as actors, tasks, routings, measurement, feedback and enablers--all necessary ingredients to process design and optimization. His take on efficiency improvement also reads like the basis for lean manufacturing or operations. Pages 92-93 summarize the notion of time and motion studies.I was also pleased with his key idea of integrating management with the frontline workers, for the purposes of coordinating, teaching, monitoring and assisting--something not done at the time. This concept appears time and again in business writings. In fact, in the last month I read similar ideas in James Champy's "Re-engineering Management" (1995) and McKinsey Quarterly's, "Unlocking the Potential of Frontline Managers" (Aug 2009). It's been 100 years, and Taylor is still holding up!

Awesome

Many Ideas of the book are still not in place, which leads to a lot of waste and non-value adding activities. A read for everyone who is interested in organisational development as well as making employers and employees life prosperous.
