The Principles of Scientific Management
Book • 1911
Published in 1911, 'The Principles of Scientific Management' by Frederick Winslow Taylor is a highly influential study that laid out his views on scientific management.
Taylor argued that by applying scientific principles and research methods, industrial enterprises could achieve maximum prosperity for both employers and employees.
He proposed four key principles: developing a science for each element of work, scientifically selecting and training workers, ensuring cooperation between management and workers, and dividing work and responsibility between management and workers.
The book includes case studies, such as the famous example of moving pig iron at the Bethlehem Steel Company, to support his theories.
Taylor's approach, known as 'Taylorism,' has had a lasting impact on management science and industrial engineering.
