Book Reviews of The Principles of Scientific Management
Book Review: Historical pleasure
Summary: 4 Stars
This booklet is of course interesting from historical point of view. It is indeed surprising how simple things already seemed to be. Also now things seems to be very clear and simple, until we have to go to implementation. And on this issue the book is not giving much answers.
But, once again, it is nice to read for the historic perspective."
Summary of The Principles of Scientific Management
This paper has been written: First. To point out, through a series of simple illustrations, the great loss which the whole country is suffering through inefficiency in almost all of our daily acts. Second. To try to convince the reader that the remedy for this inefficiency lies in systematic management, rather than in searching for some unusual or extraordinary man. Third. To prove that the best management is a true science, resting upon clearly defined laws, rules, and principles, as a foundation. And further to show that the fundamental principles of scientific management are applicable to all kinds of human activities, from our simplest individual acts to the work of our great corporations, which call for the most elaborate cooperation. And, briefly, through a series of illustrations, to convince the reader that whenever these principles are correctly applied, results must follow which are truly astounding.Management Books
