- WORDS:
- 2300
- DATE:

- PRICE:
- 29.99 GBP
Could scientific management principles that emerged from the 19th century be applicable to the management of mainstream organisations? The science of management promises to maximise the potentials of human resources in a way that ensures optimised benefits to both the employee and the organisation. Though the philosophy behind the science of management is conceived more than a century ago, Frederick W. Taylor, a leading scientific management theorist prescribes solutions to eliminate organisational inefficiencies. Not only do the scientific management principles he professed used today, but provoked issues such as knowledge and talents management, strategic human resource management, employee motivation, organisational behaviour, leadership and management style, and empirical-driven approach to management. Yet the dynamics of today's business environment have exposed the weaknesses of the underpinnings of scientific management theory.

C/M/587. Critical Evaluation of Taylor's Scientific Management
- WORDS:
- 3800
- DATE:
- 2007
- PRICE:
- 39.99 GBP
The paper critically analyses the theory of Scientific Management by Taylor providing its overview and discussing the argument of Buchanan and Huczynski (2005) that Taylor's method results in low job satisfaction and high absenteeism in the organisation, which causes the managers to look for alternative managerial and motivational practices. The paper uses interpretive and phenomenological research approach. A literature review is offered on the basis of qualitative secondary data obtained through published and peer reviewed sources. The paper concludes that although Taylorism is still vastly followed in many organisations, there is a paradigm shift towards a more flexible and dynamic organisation design in the 21st century, with new management and motivation techniques.

Scientific management is one of the most famous theories in business and management studies. The paper analyses the concept of scientific management (Taylorism) and its principles. The author examines both the advantages and disadvantages of the theory from the point of view of operations management and organisational behaviour and work psychology. Various organisational behaviour theories and models are applied in the course of the analysis: expectancy, valence, instrumentality, Maslows hierarchy of needs, job satisfaction, job rotation, enlargement, and enrichment and others. It is argued that, although barely any company practises scientific management in its original form today, many have adopted models which are direct descendants from the theory. These include: just-in-time, benchmarking, work standards, process re-engineering, Gantt charts and so on.
