The document discusses Frederick Winslow Taylor and the principles of scientific management, including optimizing jobs to increase productivity, standardization of work processes, and cooperation between workers and managers. It provides an overview of Taylor's theories and principles, how scientific management was implemented, criticisms of the approach, and how some of its concepts are still used in modern management practices today. The presentation is made by several students who each cover different aspects of Taylor's scientific management and its applications.
During the last hundred years, management evolved into a more scientific discipline with standardized principles and practices. This evolution can be studied in three parts: 1) Early Classical approaches like scientific management and administrative management, 2) Neo-Classical approaches like the human relations movement, and 3) Modern approaches like quantitative and systems approaches. Frederick Taylor is considered the father of scientific management, developing concepts like time and motion studies, differential piece rates, separation of planning from doing, and scientific worker recruitment and training. While scientific management increased productivity, it was criticized for reducing skill variety and increasing worker monotony and resentment.
Scientific management emerged between 1910-1935 and was pioneered by Frederick Taylor, Henry Gannt, Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, Luther Gulick, Max Weber, and Henri Fayol. They approached management in a scientific manner using tools like research, analysis, and standardization of tasks. Taylor is known for his time and motion studies and piece-rate payment systems. Gannt developed charting methods and incentive plans. The Gilbreths analyzed motions to reduce wasted time. Gulick established principles of administration and coordination. Weber described bureaucratic organization and authority. Fayol identified functions and principles of management. Scientific management emphasized efficiency and standardized work processes.
Scientific management is an approach to managing organizations that focuses on improving economic efficiency, especially labor productivity. It analyzes workflows to improve efficiency and aims for cooperation between workers and management. The core principles include replacing old rule-of-thumb methods with scientific approaches, scientifically selecting and training workers, achieving maximum output through cooperation between workers and management, and equal division of responsibilities between planning and execution. F.W. Taylor is considered the father of scientific management and conducted experiments applying its principles in steel mills in the early 1900s.

The document discusses the concept of scientific management developed by Frederick Taylor in the early 20th century. Taylor believed work could be optimized through scientific analysis to determine the most efficient processes. This involved breaking down jobs into small, simple tasks and establishing a staff of specialists to determine optimum work methods. While it increased efficiency, workers found the work boring and skills were de-emphasized. There was also worker resentment over the loss of control and autonomy. However, Taylor's ideas still influence modern management practices like work standardization and productivity measurement.
Scientific management aimed to improve economic efficiency, especially labor productivity, through analyzing and optimizing workflows. Pioneered by Frederick Taylor in the early 1900s, it involved developing scientific methods for each task to replace rule-of-thumb practices, scientifically selecting and training workers, and cooperating between workers and management. Frank and Lillian Gilbreth expanded on Taylor's work through motion and time studies to further reduce inefficiency and improve worker satisfaction. Scientific management transformed industries by standardizing best practices and rationalizing production processes.

Scientific management, developed by Frederic Winslow Taylor in the 1880s-1890s, aimed to improve economic efficiency, especially labor productivity, through analyzing and optimizing workflows. It involved time and motion studies to eliminate unnecessary movements, specialization of tasks, establishment of performance standards, and use of monetary incentives. While scientific management improved productivity and reduced costs, it also faced criticism for potentially exploiting workers and creating monotony. Many of its principles of efficiency and standardization, however, remain relevant to modern management.

Fredric Winslow Taylor was an American mechanical engineer known as the father of scientific management. He worked to improve industrial efficiency by finding the "one best way" to do tasks through scientific investigation rather than relying on opinion or rule of thumb. The principles of scientific management include using science rather than intuition for managerial decision making, promoting harmony between management and workers through cooperation rather than individualism or conflict, and developing each person's maximum efficiency and prosperity through proper job placement, training, and selection of workers.
Scientific management and its principles by Neeraj Bhandari ( Surkhet.Nepal )Neeraj Bhandari
This document provides an overview of Frederick Winslow Taylor and the principles of scientific management. It describes Taylor's background and education, as well as his work experiences. The core of scientific management, according to Taylor, is knowing what workers should do and ensuring they do it in the most efficient way. The four main principles of scientific management are: replacing rule-of-thumb work with scientific methods, promoting harmony between managers and workers, dividing work responsibilities between management and labor, and training workers for their roles. Each principle is then explained in more detail.
1. Scientific management theorist Frederick Taylor believed that industrial management could be studied scientifically and that trained managers working cooperatively with workers would lead to the best results.
2. Future Supreme Court justice Louis Brandeis coined the term "scientific management" and helped popularize Taylor's ideas.
3. Taylor's scientific management consisted of four principles including replacing rule-of-thumb work with scientific time and motion studies and providing detailed supervision of workers.
The document provides an introduction to the classical approach to management. It discusses that the classical approach views employees as having only economic and physical needs. It was the oldest formal school of management originating in the early 1900s. The classical approach includes scientific management, administrative management, and bureaucratic management. Major contributors included Taylor, Fayol, and Weber. Taylor's scientific management focused on finding the most efficient way to perform jobs. Fayol analyzed management as a universal process and introduced 14 principles of management. Weber introduced concepts of bureaucratic organizations based on rational authority. The document also discusses management as both an art and a science.
This document summarizes and compares the management theories of Frederick Winslow Taylor and Henri Fayol. It outlines Taylor's scientific management approach which aimed to improve economic efficiency through analyzing workflows. It then describes Fayol's 14 principles of management which he developed independently of Taylor and which focused on areas like the division of work, authority and responsibility, discipline, and order. The document provides an overview of the key ideas and differences between these two influential early 20th century theorists of management.

This document provides an overview of the evolution of management theory from early approaches like scientific management to more modern concepts. It summarizes key thinkers and schools of thought in management theory's development. Scientific management focused on efficiency and productivity, pioneered by Taylor. Classical organization theory, developed by Fayol, sought to establish guidelines for managing complex organizations. Subsequent approaches accounted for behavioral and contingency factors. The document traces these progressions in management thought over time.
This document discusses the historical perspectives of production systems from the Industrial Revolution to modern times. It covers several major approaches and influential figures, including:
1) Scientific management pioneered by Frederick Taylor, advocating division of labor and functional specialization. This approach greatly influenced Henry Ford's assembly line production.
2) The behavioral science school that emerged in the 1920s based on studies showing human behavior is a key factor in output.
3) The use of worker groups in some industries like mining, which improved productivity over individual-based scientific management approaches. This led to the socio-technical systems research approach.
Frederick Taylor was a pioneer in scientific management. He advocated for analyzing jobs through time and motion studies to determine the most efficient ways to perform tasks. Taylor believed this approach could benefit both workers through higher wages and management through increased productivity. While controversial, his ideas helped launch the field of management studies and improved efficiency in some industries.
Scientific management emerged in the early 20th century focusing on operational efficiency. Theories were developed by Taylor and Gilbreth emphasizing precision, harmony, and higher pay for more efficient workers. Limitations included disregard for human aspects and authoritarian approaches. Classical management focused on organization-wide principles by Fayol including division of labor and unity of command. The behavioral school used psychology finding social factors improved human relationships. Contingency theory stated the best technique depends on the situation.
This document discusses the scientific theory of management. It describes the contributions of Frederick Taylor, who studied worker movements to establish the most efficient ways to perform jobs. Taylor introduced concepts like rest breaks, piece-rate pay, and firing inefficient workers. The Gilbreths also contributed by studying motion and fatigue, developing promotion plans. Henry Gantt developed the Gantt chart and bonus pay systems. While scientific management increased productivity, it was criticized for overlooking workers' social and job satisfaction needs, treating them only as rational beings motivated by money. The objectives of increasing productivity and workers' welfare were only partially achieved.
This document provides an overview of organizational psychology and its history. It discusses how organizational psychology applies principles of psychology to the workplace to increase employee productivity and well-being. Some key pioneers discussed include Frederick Taylor who advocated scientific analysis of jobs and matching employees to tasks. The Hawthorne studies found that social factors like being observed influenced employee productivity more than physical changes like lighting levels. This challenged views of scientific management and emphasized the importance of human relationships in the workplace.
This document provides an overview of the historical development of the science of management. It discusses three key phases: the Classic Term represented by Taylor, Fayol and Weber; the Neo-classic Term focusing more on the human factor; and Modern Management Approaches. Taylor's Scientific Management principles aimed to increase productivity but were criticized for overlooking the human element. Fayol built on Taylor's work developing principles for large organization management. Weber proposed a bureaucracy approach emphasizing standardized procedures.
The idea of management is not new; managing is an inbuilt character of human beings. Early forms of management concepts have been applied throughout history in order to progress as a society. We see beautiful creation from Stone Age to civilization – could those creations such as monuments and cities be in place without management? Management activities were always needed in order to complete massive projects. The Industrial Revolution as well as the growth of factories and mass production created a need for strong management processes. Better and more efficient ways of manufacturing goods were needed in order to maximize productivity, bring down costs, and increase profitability. As a result, since the late 1800’s, theorists have developed a wide range of methods for improving management practices
This document provides an overview of several classic management theories and theorists. It discusses early contributors like practicing managers and social scientists. It then covers some of the earliest theories from managers like Fayol and Taylor, who focused on efficiency and structure. Later, social scientists like Mayo shifted attention to human factors and motivation. Maslow and McGregor contributed motivation theories like the hierarchy of needs and Theory X/Theory Y. More recent approaches include Theory Z and systems thinking, with organizations viewed as open systems.
Taylorism, Scientific Management, Is A Theory Of...Tara Smith
Frederick Taylor developed the theory of Scientific Management in the late 19th/early 20th century. The theory emphasized maximizing work efficiency through analyzing and establishing optimized workflows. Its main objective was to improve economic efficiency, especially labor productivity. One of Taylor's key contributions was introducing the concept of a "science of work" to replace the traditional "rule of thumb" approach. The principles of Scientific Management focused on replacing traditional work methods with those based on scientific study, selecting and training suitable workers, providing detailed instructions on work methods, and dividing tasks between managers and workers. While Scientific Management improved productivity, it was criticized for reducing worker autonomy and satisfaction.
1. Frederick Taylor is considered the father of scientific management. He developed theories and techniques to optimize productivity, including time and motion studies to determine the most efficient ways to perform tasks.
2. Taylor advocated for standardizing tools and procedures based on time studies to determine the most effective methods. He also pushed for assigning workers daily quotas based on these studies to incentivize higher productivity.
3. Taylor's scientific management principles included developing a true science of work, scientifically selecting and training employees, equally dividing work and responsibility between management and workers, and fostering intimate cooperation between the two groups. The goal was to increase overall efficiency and prosperity for both workers and employers.

Theory and Principle of Scientific Management/TaylorismBigin Gyawali
Scientific management theory is a method for improving workforce efficiency through scientific analysis of work processes. It was pioneered by Frederick Taylor in the late 19th/early 20th century as a response to issues in industrialization. Taylor's five principles of scientific management focus on using science over rules of thumb, achieving harmony between workers and management, implementing mental revolutions in attitudes, encouraging cooperation over individualism, and developing each person's greatest efficiency.
Theories of management provided organizations with frameworks for knowledge and guides to achieving goals. The Industrial Revolution prompted the need for better worker supervision to boost productivity in industries like automobiles, steel, and coal. This need led to the development of various management theories. Classical management theory, which emerged during the Industrial Revolution, focused on identifying the single best way to perform and manage tasks. This enabled mass production of goods and year-round factory operations. Later theories took different approaches or adapted parts of past theories depending on the situation.
The Application Of Scientific Management In Today’S...Melissa Williams
Frederick Taylor developed the theory of scientific management in the early 20th century based on four key principles: 1) replacing rule-of-thumb work methods with scientifically studied methods, 2) selecting and training suitable workers, 3) giving detailed instructions and supervision, and 4) dividing tasks between managers and workers. While revolutionary at the time, some argue Taylor's principles are outdated today due to changes in work environments and management approaches, though others maintain the principles can still provide benefits if adapted to modern contexts.

Frederick taylor and scientific managementMarites Teope
Frederick Taylor was one of the earliest management theorists and pioneered the concept of Scientific Management in the early 20th century. He studied how work was performed and sought to optimize jobs and standardize tasks to increase productivity. Taylor developed four principles of scientific management including replacing rule-of-thumb work with scientific study of tasks, matching workers to jobs based on capability, providing supervision to ensure efficient work methods are used, and having managers focus on planning and training to allow efficient work. While influential, Taylor's theories broke work into small specialized tasks and are at odds with modern approaches emphasizing autonomy, flexibility, teamwork and incorporating worker ideas.
This document summarizes two approaches to management: the systems approach and contingency approach.
The systems approach views an organization as an open system composed of interrelated subsystems like production and management. It emphasizes studying how all parts interact rather than in isolation. However, this approach is complex and its conceptual framework is abstract.
The contingency approach is situational - there is no universally best way to manage as organizations face different situations. An organization's structure must fit its environment and tasks. Effectiveness depends on properly designing the organization and leadership style to fit tasks and workers. Various contingency theories also relate effective decision making to situational factors.

- The document discusses the contributions of F.W. Taylor, considered the "Father of Scientific Management".
- Taylor conducted experiments to replace the "hit or miss" approach with scientific methods. He believed management was ensuring workers did their jobs in the best and cheapest way.
- His 1911 book outlined the principles of scientific management, including replacing thumb rules with science, scientifically selecting and training workers, and harmonious worker-management relationships.
- The techniques included work study, scientific task planning, standardization, and mental revolution of workers. Taylor also introduced a differential piece rate system and functional foremanship.
The document discusses the evolution of performance management theory over the last 150 years. It examines the work of several theorists including Frederick Taylor, Henry Gantt, Henri Fayol, Peter Drucker, and Elton Mayo. Taylor developed scientific management methods that broke jobs down into tasks while Fayol and Drucker contributed frameworks for the five elements and operations of management. Mayo's human relations approach emphasized the social aspects of work and motivation. Overall, the document traces the development of management theory and its focus on both organizational structures and human factors.
Principles of Management_ Scientific Management.pptxSaumyaDwivedi44
Scientific management was an early theory developed by Frederick Taylor that focused on efficiency. Taylor believed jobs should be broken down scientifically and workers trained in the most efficient processes. Time-and-motion studies were used to optimize tasks. However, scientific management was limited as it did not consider human needs like esteem and saw workers as economic units, not individuals. It also reduced skill variety and led to monotonous work.

The document discusses different color models including RGB, CMY, and HSV. The RGB model is an additive color model used for displays with primary colors of red, green, and blue. The CMY model is a subtractive color model used in printing with primary colors of cyan, magenta, and yellow. RGB uses light to create colors and is used for digital devices while CMY uses ink on paper. Both models have their advantages and are used in different applications depending on whether light or reflected light is used to produce colors.

This document discusses routing protocols in computer networks. It defines distance vector routing and link state routing, describing how each determines the best path. Distance vector routing uses hop count as a metric and shares routing tables, while link state routing shares information about network reachability and metrics. The document provides examples of how distance vector and Dijkstra's algorithm work through updating routing tables. It outlines characteristics of routers and compares advantages and disadvantages of the two routing approaches.
The document provides information about different generations of computers. It discusses Babbage's Analytical Engine as an early predecessor to modern computers. The first generation used vacuum tubes and were large, expensive machines. The second generation used transistors, making computers smaller, cheaper, and more reliable. The third generation used integrated circuits, making computers even smaller and faster. Later generations incorporated microprocessors, leading to the development of personal computers. The document also discusses some examples of specific early computers like the IAS and IBM 360.
This document discusses semiconductors and provides details about their properties and characteristics. It defines a semiconductor as a material with resistivity between that of a conductor and insulator. Some key points made in the document are:
- Semiconductors have properties like negative temperature coefficient of resistance and their conductivity can change when doped with impurities.
- Common semiconductors include silicon and germanium which form covalent bonds and have small energy gaps between valence and conduction bands.
- Semiconductors can be doped as n-type or p-type to introduce free electrons or holes that serve as majority carriers for current flow. A pn junction is formed when a p-type and n-
This document provides an introduction to the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, which defines seven layers of network architecture: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application. It describes each layer's responsibilities in moving data from one node or process to another. The Physical layer moves individual bits, the Data Link layer moves frames between nodes, the Network layer moves packets between hosts, the Transport layer moves segments between processes, and so on up to the Application layer which provides user-level services. An illustration is included showing how data is encapsulated and moves through each layer in an exchange between two systems.
The presentation topic is on computational models. It will be presented by Md. Touhidur Rahman. The document discusses four computational models: finite automata (DFA and NFA), context free grammar, pushdown automata, and Turing machines. Finite automata are defined using states, symbols, transitions, a start state, and accepting states. Context free grammars are defined using variables, terminals, productions, and a start symbol. Pushdown automata extend NFAs with a stack. Turing machines are formally defined but also described at a higher level for understanding.
This document contains examples of different types of tabular data presentations:
- Univariate tables use one variable to organize data into rows and columns, such as user numbers for different mobile operators.
- Bivariate tables use two variables, like the number of rich and middle class cellphone users of different brands.
- Multivariate tables use two or more variables, for example semester-wise results for students organized by department, age group, and school board performance.
Tabular presentations clearly organize data without losing information, and are useful for database design, cascading style sheets, Excel sheets, and representing data in word documents.

Corporate innovation with Startups made simple with Pitchworks VC StudioGokul Rangarajan
In this write up we will talk about why corporates need to innovate, why most of them of failing and need to startups and corporate start collaborating with each other for survival
At the end of the conversation the CIO asked us 3 questions which sparked us to write this blog.
1 Do my organisation need innovation ?
2 Even if I need Innovation why are so many other corporates of our size fail in innovation ?
3 How can I test it in most cost effective way ?
First let's address the Elephant in the room, is Innovation optional ?
Relevance for customers
Building Business Reslience
competitive advantage
Corporate innovation is essential for businesses striving to remain relevant and competitive in today's rapidly evolving market. By continuously developing new products, services, and processes, companies can better meet the changing needs and preferences of their customers. For instance, Apple's regular release of new iPhone models keeps them at the forefront of consumer technology, while Amazon's introduction of Prime services has revolutionized online shopping convenience. Statistics show that innovative companies are 2.5 times more likely to have high-performance outcomes compared to their peers.
This proactive approach not only helps in retaining existing customers but also attracts new ones, ensuring sustained growth and market presence.
Furthermore, innovation fosters a culture of creativity and adaptability within organizations, enabling them to quickly respond to emerging trends and disruptions. In essence, corporate innovation is the driving force that keeps companies aligned with customer expectations, ultimately leading to long-term success and relevance.
Business Resilience
Building business resilience is paramount for companies looking to thrive amidst uncertainties and disruptions. Corporate innovation plays a crucial role in fostering this resilience by enabling businesses to adapt, evolve, and maintain continuity during challenging times. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies that swiftly innovated their business models, such as shifting to remote work or expanding e-commerce capabilities, managed to survive and even thrive. According to a McKinsey report, organizations that prioritize innovation are 30% more likely to be high-growth companies. Innovation not only helps in developing new revenue streams but also in creating more efficient processes and resilient supply chains. This agility allows companies to quickly pivot in response to market changes, ensuring they can weather economic downturns, technological disruptions, and other unforeseen challenges. Therefore, corporate innovation is not just a strategy for growth but a vital component of building a robust and resilient business capable of sustaining long-term success.

9. One of the earliest of these theorists was Frederick Winslow
Taylor. He started the Scientific Management movement, and he
and his associates were the first people to study the work
process scientifically.
In 1909, Taylor published "The Principles of Scientific
Management." In this, he proposed that by optimizing and
simplifying jobs, productivity would increase. He also advanced
the idea that workers and managers needed to cooperate with
one another. This was very different from the way work was
typically done in businesses beforehand. A factory manager at
that time had very little contact with the workers, and he left
them on their own to produce the necessary product. There was
no standardization, and a worker's main motivation was often
continued employment, so there was no incentive to work as
quickly or as efficiently as possible.
12. The scientific management approach propounded by F.W.
Taylor is based upon the following four principles
(1) Science, Not Rule of Thumb:
This principle says that we should not get stuck in
a set routine with the old techniques of doing
work, rather we should be constantly
experimenting to develop new techniques which
make the work much simpler, easier and quicker.
13. (2) Harmony, Not Discord:
As per this principle, such an atmosphere should be
created in the organisation that labour (the major
factor of production) and management consider each
other indispensable.
Taylor has referred to such a situation as a ‘Mental
Revolution’. Taylor firmly believed that the occurrence
of a mental revolution would end all conflicts between
the two parties and would be beneficial to both of
them.
14. (3) Cooperation, Not Individualism:
According to this principle, all the activities done by
different people must be carried on with a spirit of
mutual cooperation. Taylor has suggested that the
manager and the workers should jointly determine
standards. This increases involvement and thus, in
turn, increases responsibility. In this way we can
expect miraculous results.
15. (4) Development of Each and Every Person to
His / Her Greatest Efficiency and Prosperity:
According to this principle, the efficiency of each and
every person should be taken care of right from his
selection. A proper arrangement of everybody’s
training should be made.
It should also be taken care that each individual
should be allotted work according to his ability and
interest. Such a caring attitude would create a sense
of enthusiasm among the employees and a feeling of
belongingness too.
18. Scientific management requires a high level of managerial
control over employee work practices and entails a higher
ratio of managerial workers to laborers than previous
management methods. Such detail-oriented management
may cause friction between workers and managers.
Taylor observed that some workers were more talented than
others, and that even smart ones were often unmotivated. He
observed that most workers who are forced to perform
repetitive tasks tend to work at the slowest rate that goes
unpunished. This slow rate of work has been observed in
many industries and many countries and has been called by
various terms. Taylor used the term "soldiering” a term that
reflects the way conscripts may approach following orders,
and observed that, when paid the same amount, workers will
tend to do the amount of work that the slowest among them
does.Taylor describes soldiering as "the greatest evil with
which the working-people ... are now afflicted.”
19. Scientific management evolved in an era when mechanization
and automation were still in their infancy. The ideas and
methods of scientific management extended the American
system of manufacturing in the transformation from craft work
(with humans as the only possible agents) to mechanization and
automation, although proponents of scientific management did
not predict the extensive removal of humans from the
production process. Concerns over labor-displacing
technologies rose with increasing mechanization and
automation.
By factoring processes into discrete, unambiguous units,
scientific management laid the groundwork for automation and
offshoring, prefiguring industrial process control and numerical
control in the absence of any machines that could carry it out.
Taylor and his followers did not foresee this at the time; in their
world, it was humans that would execute the optimized
processes
24. The Principles of Taylor's Scientific Management Theory
became widely practiced, and the resulting cooperation
between workers and managers eventually developed into the
teamwork we enjoy today. While Taylorism in a pure sense isn't
practiced much today, scientific management did provide
many significant contributions to the advancement of
management practice. It introduced systematic selection and
training procedures, it provided a way to study workplace
efficiency, and it encouraged the idea of systematic
organizational design.
25. Scientific management was one of the first attempts to
systematically treat management and process improvement as
a scientific problem. It may have been the first to do so in a
"bottom-up" way and found a lineage of successors that have
many elements in common. With the advancement of statistical
methods, quality assurance and quality control began in the
1920s and 1930s. During the 1940s and 1950s, the body of
knowledge for doing scientific management evolved into
operations management, operations research, and management
cybernetics. In the 1980s total quality management became
widely popular, and in the 1990s "re-engineering" went from a
simple word to a mystique. Today's Six Sigma and lean
manufacturing could be seen as new kinds of scientific
management, although their evolutionary distance from the
original is so great that the comparison might be misleading. In
particular, Shigeo Shingo, one of the originators of the Toyota
Production System, believed that this system and Japanese
management culture in general should be seen as a kind of
scientific management.
27. How Do Today’s Managers Use
Scientific Management?
1. It was important because it could raise
countries’ standard of living by making
workers more productive and efficient.
2. Also it’s important to remember that many of
the tools and techniques developed by the
scientific.
28. Application in the modern workplace
1. Assembly line plants prototypical example
“prisoners of Taylorism”
2. System of Remuneration.
3. Re-Design Reengineering.
4. Benchmarking
5. Data are used to refine, improve, change,
modify and eliminate organizational
processes
6. Learn Manufacturing
29.
30. Advantages of Scientific Management
1. Enhanced teamwork – cooperation between managers
and workers
2. Management based on observation and experiment for
context-specific solutions
3. Better planning and decision-making
4. Improved democracy in workplace
5. Improved physical working conditions for employees.
6. Increased opportunities for workers to acquire
scientific training
31. Disadvantages of Scientific Management
1. Suitable for small organizations only; unsuitable in big
firms
2. Managerial decisions may involve strictness and
stress for managers due to need for complete control
over the work place
3. Influences feelings of pressure among workers
4. May de-motivate workers
