TAYLOR, Frederick Winslow. The Principles of Scientific Management. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1911. 1st ed. 144pp. Orig. blind-pictorial cloth. Near fine. "F. W. Taylor, an engineer in the Bethlehem Steel Works in Philadelphia, was the originator of what he called `scientific management' now known as `time and motion study.' His system was based on what he estimated to be a fair day's work and the best means of ensuring such a standard of production. He was interested in any factor that hindered or helped in attaining this end"- Printing and the Mind of Man, 403. Norman 2059. "Important discussion of Taylor's basic ideas and techniques on personal management in the factory"-Larson 2662.

First trade edition of the core text of what is popularly known as "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. Previously Taylor's 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). The 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 America with its mass-production factories which made possible the consumer age, through to post-First World War Germany where they are credited as contributing to the rapid economic recovery of the country, and to Soviet Russia as a key part of their five-year plans. With the contemporary ownership stamp of "E. D. McCallum" to the front free endpaper and title page, almost certainly Ernest Dudgeon McCallum, author of The Iron and Steel Industry in the United States; A Study in Industrial Organisation (London, P. S. King & Son, 1931). 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, publisher's device to front cover in blind. Spine a little sunned, extremities with slight bumping and rubbing, scattered light foxing. A very good copy.
