Synopsis
Frederick Winslow Taylor, the ‘father of scientific management’ invented new techniques of factory management with time and motion studies coupled with an ideology of authority in organizations. His advances threw up many obstacles from 'soldiering' by shop-floor workers as well as the prevalent management ideologies of his time. The eminent psychoanalyst Sudhir Kakar explores the inner workings of his mind to show us how he rose above his difficulties to become one of the pioneering management gurus and redefined industry and management in his era and beyond.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. First Ed, unstated. Near Fine in Very Good DJ: Book shows only minute indications of use: former bookseller's price sticker neatly at the upper corner of the front free endpaper; binding shows the slightest lean, while remaining perfectly secure; else flawless; text clean. DJ shows light wear to extremities; mild rubbing and faint but pervasive soiling; price has been clipped; mylar-protected. No longer 'As New', but remains close to it. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 221pp. Lavender cloth over boards with silver titles at the backstrip. First Ed, unstated. Hardback with DJ. Kakar's monograph on Frederick Taylor is, like Erikson's work with Luther and Ghandi, a wonderful expose of the sexual dysfunctions that have made important inroads into the way we see ourselves. The effects of Taylor's groundbreaking work with 'scientific' management can still be felt today as companies, including those providing healthcare, insist on viewing people as commodities that must be controlled in the interests of financial health. Reading between the lines of Kakar's book one is struck by the sexual dysfunction of Taylor and how this was introduced into modern business practices. Seller Inventory # 42176
