section::::classical perspective.:scientific management.









































the scientific management theory was introduced by frederick winslow taylor to encourage production efficiency and productivity. taylor argues that inefficiencies could be controlled through managing production as a science. taylor defines scientific management as "concerned with knowing exactly what you want men to do and then see in that they do it in the best and cheapest way." according to taylor, scientific management affects both workers and employers, and stresses the control of the labour force by management.

taylor identifies four inherent principles of the scientific management theory.

peter drucker saw frederick taylor as the creator of knowledge management, because the aim of scientific management was to produce knowledge about how to improve work processes. although the typical application of scientific management was manufacturing, taylor himself advocated scientific management for all sorts of work, including the management of universities and government. for example, taylor believed scientific management could be extended to "the work of our salesmen". shortly after his death, his acolyte harlow s. person began to lecture corporate audiences on the possibility of using taylorism for "sales engineering" (person was talking about what is now called sales process engineering—engineering the processes that salespeople use—not about what we call sales engineering today.) this was a watershed insight in the history of corporate marketing.
