"The Principles of Scientific Management" is a seminal work written by Frederick Winslow Taylor and published in 1911. Frederick Taylor is often considered one of the pioneers of modern management and is known for his contributions to the field of industrial engineering and management science. His book laid the foundation for what would become known as scientific management, also referred to as Taylorism. In "The Principles of Scientific Management," Taylor addresses the inefficiencies and problems associated with labor and management in the early 20th century industrial settings. The central premise of the book is the application of scientific methods to optimize and streamline work processes. Taylor's primary goals were to increase productivity, reduce waste, and improve the overall efficiency of industrial and manufacturing operations. The key principles outlined in the book include: Time and Motion Studies: Taylor advocated the scientific analysis of each task to determine the most efficient way of performing it. This involved breaking down work into its smallest components and measuring the time required for each. Standardization: Taylor proposed that there should be a standardized method for performing each task, and this method should be communicated to and followed by all workers. This standardization would eliminate variability in work processes. Scientific Selection and Training: Taylor argued for careful selection of workers, matching their abilities to the specific tasks they would perform. He also emphasized the importance of training workers to perform their jobs according to the standardized methods. Financial Incentives: Taylor advocated for a system of financial incentives to motivate workers. He believed that workers should be paid more for higher performance and that this would lead to increased productivity. "The Principles of Scientific Management" had a significant impact on the fields of management and industrial engineering. It revolutionized the way businesses and factories were run by emphasizing efficiency, systematic analysis, and a focus on eliminating waste. Taylor's work contributed to the development of management theory and became a cornerstone of the modern management practices, particularly in the areas of process optimization, time management, and worker productivity. While Taylor's ideas have been influential, they have also been criticized for their potential to dehumanize the workforce and reduce job satisfaction. Despite these criticisms, his work remains an important historical document in the evolution of management practices and industrial efficiency.

It seems, at first glance, like an obvious step to take to improve industrial productivity: one should simply watch workers at work in order to learn how they actually do their jobs. But American engineer FREDERICK WINSLOW TAYLOR (1856-1915) broke new ground with this 1919 essay, in which he applied the rigors of scientific observation to such labor as shoveling and bricklayer in order to streamline their work... and bring a sense of logic and practicality to the management of that work. This highly influential book, must-reading for anyone seeking to understand modern management practices, puts lie to such misconceptions that making industrial processes more efficient increases unemployment and that shorter workdays decrease productivity. And it laid the foundations for the discipline of management to be studied, taught, and applied with methodical precision.

This volume comprises three works originally published separately as Shop Management (1903), The Principles of Scientific Management (1911) and Testimony Before the Special House Committee (1912).

"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
