PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT — OCM STD 12 Commerce — Question

• F. W. Taylor defined scientific management as “Knowing exactly what you want your man to do, and then see to it that they do it in the best and the cheapest way.”
• Scientific Management is a mental revolution favoring employees of a factory. It focuses on tasks and duties of the employees, their colleagues and owners.

Taylor suggested the following things to be adopted for scientific management:

1. Each worker should be assigned work as per his mental and physical ability.
2. Each worker should be instructed to perform maximum work as per category.
3. A worker working efficiently and rapidly should be paid 30% to 100% more wages.
