The Principles of Scientific Management by Frederick Winslow Taylor

"The Principles of Scientific Management" by Frederick Winslow Taylor is a monograph published in 1911. Taylor presents his vision for transforming industrial work through systematic principles rather than relying on individual workers' methods. He argues that maximum prosperity for both employers and employees can be achieved through scientific analysis of work tasks, proper training, and cooperation. Taylor identifies why workers deliberately slow down and proposes replacing traditional "rule-of-thumb" approaches with measured, efficient methods based on time and motion studies.
