The Principles of Scientific Management - Tapa blanda

Frederick Winslow Taylor was a nineteenth century American mechanical engineer concerned with management consultancy, scientific management, and industrial efficiency. His work, The Principles of Scientific Management, outlines the foundation for modern organization and decision theory. He does this through describing the dilemma: workers harbor fears that higher individual productivity will eventually lead to fewer jobs. Taylor's suggestion is to deride this fear by providing incentives for workers and re-framing the consumer, shareholder, and worker relationship. A great and informative read for anyone interested in efficient management practices.
