Since its inception in 1911, scientific management has reached incredible heights, spreading throughout the world as an expert method for making the most of an employee's time. Before starting to analyze its use today it is important to first establish what is meant by Scientific Management. In the business dictionary it is concisely defined as “an early 20th century school of management thought concerned primarily with the physical efficiency of the individual worker” that “emphasizes the rationalization and standardization of work through the division of labor, time and movement, work measurement and piece wages” (businessdictionary.com,2014) The four fundamental principles of scientific management are as follows: After an intensive scientific analysis of an individual's work by management, the most effective method for do the work. This is considered the single best way to get the job done. The analysis involves considering the environment needed to do the job and measuring the maximum amount the ideal employee can do to constitute a good day at work. Employees are then expected to deliver this amount of work every day. The most suitable person to do the job is selected. The worker is taught to do the job in exactly the same way as described by the scientific method. It is the manager's job to find out what job is right for each employee and train them until they are first class. Managers must communicate effectively and constantly with workers to ensure that the work is done in the best scientific manner to which it has been assigned. There is a clear division of work and responsibilities between the management and the workers involved in the company. Workers just get the job done while managers only care about half the paper. They are also required to handle any complaints, deliveries or any other extraordinary events that occur in the workplace. This leaves all the actual manufacturing of the products to the employees. Their work is thus still separate, proving that Scientific Management is still at large today. Conclusion Despite what others may think, I believe that my investigation into the rise of Scientific Management and its current has demonstrated how influential it has been both in the past and today and how it will always be present in the future for companies that still employ its theories. It has been the backbone behind the development, profitability and stability of some of the world's largest companies and to say that it still doesn't look the same today as it did when it started would be a huge stretch on one person's part. the imagination.
