Synopsis

This book details how scientific management principles can be implemented in an organization, expanding on the methods pioneered by Frederick W. Taylor and Harrington Emerson. Firstly, separate a staff of function-focused individuals from the traditional line organization. Secondly, establish a system of provisional performance standards. Thirdly, scientifically refine these standards. Finally, implement a compensation structure that motivates both employees and management. By applying these principles to both industrial and office environments, managers can improve standardization, increase efficiency, and cut costs while growing profits. This book demonstrates that management is not simply about telling people what to do, but also about scientific investigation and carefully calibrated incentives.
