In a short essay, discuss scientific management

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: Scientific management was largely developed by Frederick W. Taylor and summarized in his 1911 book Principles of Scientific Management. Taylor and the other proponents of scientific management observed workers on the job and assessed their performance.

Taylor felt that job performance of workers generally lacked uniformity, and rather than perform the task in the best way possible, workers were apt to use sloppy, ineffective, or inefficient techniques. Accordingly, Taylor developed the idea of the "one best way" to perform a job that maintained that managers should (a) identify the best possible manner in which a task could be performed and (b) require that workers use this method on the job.
