Chapter 3 Blog 2 - Scientific Management

Chapter 3 Blog 2

In Chapter 3 I chose Frederick Taylor’s scientific management development. This concept is discussed in the text, as a concept, which deals with the assumption that management, is a true science resting on clearly defined laws, rules and principles. In my opinion, scientific management is an important aspect of any organization. While we can all appreciate a relaxed work environment we know that the success lies in the amount of organization that takes place.  Scientific management is required to maintain the professionalism and organization necessary to provide the best product or services to the consumer. In my experiences managing a clothing store where all of the employees were close friends, we knew that while we were conducting business at work our friendship was set aside and different roles of scientific management were delegated to those who best fit the position. Taylor’s motive behind scientific management was to simply improve the over all nature of any work environment. Scientific is capable of doing just that and can become a huge part of an organizations success.
