O ovoj e-knjizi
In "The Principles of Scientific Management," Frederick Winslow Taylor presents a groundbreaking exploration of efficiency in industrial processes, advocating for a systematic approach to workforce management. Through detailed analysis and empirical data, Taylor articulates his principles of standardization, time studies, and the division of labor, all framed within the burgeoning context of early 20th-century industrialization. His writing is characterized by a meticulous, prescriptive style aimed at transforming labor practices, ultimately laying the foundation for modern management theory and practices that seek to enhance productivity and worker satisfaction. Frederick Winslow Taylor, often referred to as the father of scientific management, emerged from a background in mechanical engineering and industrial work. His formative experiences in both the workshop and managerial roles fueled his desire to enhance productivity through scientifically developed methods. Taylor's work was also influenced by the economic demands of his time, where rapid industrial growth necessitated a reevaluation of traditional management techniques, driving him to advocate for a new framework that integrated scientific principles into workplace organization. This seminal work is essential for scholars, management professionals, and students alike, as it systematically challenges conventional managerial approaches and introduces innovative concepts still relevant today. Taylor's principles not only revolutionized manufacturing but also paved the way for future developments in organizational psychology, making this book a critical read for anyone interested in the evolution of management practices.
O autoru
Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915) was an influential American mechanical engineer, management consultant, and the intellectual father of the efficiency movement that peaked in the early 20th century. His core idea, that management could be studied systematically and improved through scientific methods, led to a revolution in industrial production and gave birth to the field of scientific management, or 'Taylorism.' He is most famously known for his seminal work, 'The Principles of Scientific Management' (1911), in which he outlined his methods for increasing efficiency and productivity through precise measurement, standardization, and the scientific selection of workers. Taylor's influence extended beyond factory floors; his ideas on management have had long-lasting implications for various fields ranging from manufacturing to software engineering. Critically, Taylor was both lauded for his innovations that contributed to higher efficiency and critiqued for his often mechanistic view of human labor. Despite controversies, Taylor's work has made him a central figure in the history of management theory, and his literary contributions continue to be a subject of both admiration and debate in scholarly circles. His systematized approach paved the way for subsequent theorists who further evolved the discipline of management science. Taylor's legacy remains integral to understanding the development of modern organizational practices and labor relations.
