Scientific Management
ISBN: 9780415279833 / Angielski / Twarda / 692 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume comprises three works originally published separately as "Shop Management" (1903), " The Principles of Scientific Management " (1911) and "Testimony Before the Special House Committee" (1912).
Taylor aimed at reducing conflict between managers and workers by using scientific thought to develop new principles and mechanisms of management. In contrast to ideas prevalent at the time, he maintained that workers' output could be increased by standardizing tasks and working conditions, with high pay for success and loss in case of failure. "Scientific Management" controversially... This volume comprises three works originally published separately as "Shop Management" (1903), " The Principles of Scientific Management " (1911) and ...

The Philosophy of Management
ISBN: 9780415279840 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Taylorism was criticized for its over-simplistic view of what motivated the worker. Oliver Sheldon's theme was that though Taylorism had helped the development of a science of management, such work should not detract from the predominantly human job of the manager to manage. His work prefigures the human relations approach to management theory of Elton Mayo and F. J. Roethlisberger in rejecting the notion that economic incentives largely explain employee behavior.

Dynamic Administration : The Collected Papers of Mary Parker Follett
ISBN: 9780415279857 / Angielski / Twarda / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mary Parker Follett agreed with Sheldon about the need to emphasize human factors in management, but placed greater stress on the need to develop a science of cooperation. Follett's "Law of the Situation" sought to bridge the gap between an ideal of scientific management and the unilateral position that it seemed to involve in practice. In effect she was proposing the same collaboration between leaders and subordinates that was usually to be found between leaders of the same rank.

The paper by Henderson, Whitehead, and Mayo discusses the findings of the Hawthorne experiments. Whilst admiring the pioneering work of Taylor, these authors criticize scientific management on the grounds that it does not study the facts of human organization. The Hawthorne experiments revealed the importance of spontaneous social organization of the work group into a micro-social system.
