Abstract
Scientific management is a management technique developed during the later stages of the industrial period, which focuses on systematising the work processes and quantifying the results.
Historical context
Here I will explain what characterises the period in which this management technique was born.
Principles
The four core principles of Scientific Management are
1) That all aspects of the work be analysed critcally and quantitively.
2) That workers be assigned the jobs that fit them the best.
3) That workers and managers be scientifically educated in each of their respective roles.
4) That workers and manager corporate to maximise efficiency. Managers focus on managing, which includes the supervision of workers and results. It is the manager's job to make sure that the work is being done in the most efficient manner at all times. (1) (2)
Examples of practice
Soviet Union?
American factories?
China?
Modern examples?
Criticism
