Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This brief essay by the founder of scientific management has served for nearly a century as a primer for administrators and for students of managerial techniques. Although scientific management was developed primarily as a system for increasing productivity in industry, its principles have been applied to all kinds of large-scale enterprises, including operations with departments and agencies of the federal government. It is in this volume that Frederick Winslow Taylor gave the theory of scientific management its clearest airing. Born in 1856, Taylor began work at age eighteen as an apprentice to a pattern-maker and as a machinist. A few years later he joined the Midvale Steel Company as a laborer, and in eight years rose to chief engineer. During this time he developed and tested what he called the "task system," which became known as the Taylor System and eventually as scientific management. He made careful experiments to determine the best way of performing each operation and the amount of time it required, analyzing the materials, tools, and work sequence, and establishing a clear division of labor between management and workers. His experiments laid the groundwork for the principles that are expounded in this essay, which was first published in 1911. "This book is not merely the precursor of modern organization and decision theory, it is in many respects its origin. . . . A seminal work: an often misinterpreted work: and an indipensable source of administrative theory." Arch T. Dodson, Cornell University This item is printed on demand.

Couverture souple. Condition: Très bon. Edition originale. Un vol. in-8 (252 x 168 mm) de vi - 190 pp., broché. Edition originale de la traduction française.` Constatant que la vision traditionnelle et artisanale du «métier» ne peut que favoriser les comportements individualistes et ruiner l'efficacité collective, Taylor en vient à la conclusion qu'il faut revoir complètement la philosophie et les principes concrets de collaboration et d'organisation du travail en atelier. En étudiant les conditions nécessaires pour améliorer la productivité des ouvriers, il aboutit à la conclusion qu'une approche méthodique s'impose: Ce qu'il décrit comme étant l'organisation scientifique du travail ou OST. Le principe de la démarche réside dans une double division du travail : - Une division verticale du travail, soit la stricte séparation entre la conception des tâches par les ingénieurs et leur exécution par les ouvriers. - Avant Taylor, les ouvriers conçoivent eux-mêmes leurs méthodes de travail, ce qui se traduit par une productivité souvent perfectible. Pour Taylor, le rôle de l'encadrement consiste à indiquer aux employés la meilleure manière de réaliser une tâche, de leur fournir les outils et formations appropriés, et de leur délivrer des objectifs et incitations en vue d'atteindre la performance. Une division horizontale du travail, soit une répartition optimale entre postes de travail, de façon à minimiser les doublons et les ambiguités. Avec l'application du taylorisme et les gains de productivité qu'il a permis, les ouvriers ont vu leur rémunération fortement augmenter, alors que les prix des produits industriels ont baissé, ce qui a permis à un plus grand nombre de clients de les acquérir. Cependant, les ouvriers ont payé ces progrès au prix d'une dépossession de leur expertise, désormais élaborée par les ingénieurs. Contrairement à ce qu'on affirme souvent, Taylor n'a pas théorisé le travail à la chaîne. Il a toujours appliqué ses méthodes dans des ateliers équipés de machines outils, et non sur des chaînes d'assemblages. Il souhaitait que chaque ouvrier soit formé à la meilleure méthode de travail possible, et non qu'il soit réduit à effectuer inlassablement un seul geste sur une chaîne. C'est en effet Henry Ford qui a inventé le travail à la chaîne. Ford souhaitait appliquer le taylorisme dans son usine de Rouge River près de Détroit, mais le nombre très élevé de tâches impliquées dans l'assemblage d'une automobile rendait leur enseignement à tous ses ouvriers matériellement impossible. Il eut alors l'idée (suite à une visite des abattoirs de Chicago), d'adjoindre à la division verticale du travail prônée par le taylorisme une division horizontale (ou parcellisation des tâches): chaque ouvrier n'aurait à effectuer qu'une seule tâche, préalablement optimisée par le bureau des méthodes, et tous les ouvriers seraient alignés devant une chaîne mobile sur laquelle se déplaceraient les automobiles en cours d'assemblage. Si l'impact sur les salaires et les prix fut là encore considérable, les ouvriers perdirent à nouveau une grande part de leur compétence.

First edition in book form, first printing, following the success of Taylor's The Principles of Scientific Management, published earlier the same year, and presenting the same ideas as a handbook, written "in such a way that everything in it should be intelligible to anyone with a high school education" (preface). Shop Management first appeared as a study within the journal Transactions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 1903. Together with the Principles it outlines the core of what would become known as Taylorism, the entirely rationalized organization of labour for the highest production. Octavo. Original red cloth, spine and front cover lettered in gilt, device to front cover in blind. Folding plate, illustrations and diagrams in the text. Minimal soiling and rubbing to cloth, small ink "S" to front free endpaper; a square, clean copy.

First Edition
First trade edition, first printing, of the foundational text of "Taylorism", the management of workers on an entirely rationalized, scientific basis. Though long criticized as dehumanizing human resources - "his methods were anathema to trade unionists almost everywhere" (PMM) - many of the principles have now become core components of modern management. Taylor's previous works on the subject were technical and for a smaller audience. He established his reputation as the foremost expert on factory management and delivered lectures to businesses on his principles. "In 1911 Taylor converted his standard lecture into a short book, The Principles of Scientific Management, which became an immediate bestseller and ultimately the most popular business book of the first half of the century" (ANB). This trade edition was issued in April 1911, preceded by an edition for private circulation issued in March. "Taylor attempted to determine scientifically how much a worker could accomplish in a given time by breaking tasks down into what he termed 'elementary motions', eliminating the unnecessary ones and combining the rest into an optimum series for maximum efficiency. He sought to eliminate the traditional inefficient rules of thumb followed by most labourers, replacing them with precisely determined tasks set out by a managerial planning department and performed with standardized tools and methods" (Norman). The principles were adopted internationally across varying economic systems: from the US, with its factories of mass-production that made the consumer age possible; to Germany, where Taylorism contributed to the country's rapid economic recovery after the First World War; and in Soviet Russia, as a key part of the five-year plans. Crainer, The Ultimate Business Library, p. 275ff; Downs, Books that Changed America, 17; Norman 2059; Printing and the Mind of Man 403. Octavo. Original red cloth, spine and front cover lettered in gilt, covers framed in blind, the front with fasces motif stamped in blind, top edge blue.

First Edition
First edition, first printing, British issue, of Taylor's important technical paper, the result of years of study and experiment into cutting metal, the implementation of which vastly increased the speed of machinery in the industry. Taylor's "experiments at the Midvale and Bethlehem Steel Company led to the discovery of high speed steel and revolutionized the art of cutting metals. His paper on The Art of Cutting Metals presented to ASME was considered as the most remarkable ever presented to a learned society. The paper was based on the longest and most exhaustive series of about 30,000 experiments conducted over a period of 26 years, at a cost of about $2,000,000. they initiated a major breakthrough in the development of American industry" (Sahni & Vayunandan, p. 139). The book was also published within volume 28 of Transactions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers the same year. Taylor is now best known for his 1911 Principles of Scientific Management, which established the principles of what is popularly known as "Taylorism" - the management of workers on an entirely rationalized, scientific basis. The British issue of the book is distinguished by a stamp to the title page which supplements the imprint with "and from the Hill Publishing Co. Ltd., 6 & 8, Bouverie Street, London, E.C.".
