Summary |
It is a matter of significance that continuing demand for explanations of Scientific Management in Taylor's own words, earlier printings of which have for several years been unavailable, should induce the publishers to offer a new printing. It is of even greater significance that the publishers have decided to include under one cover "Shop Management," "The Principles of Scientific Management," and Taylor's testimony at "Hearings before social committee of the House Representatives to investigate at Taylor and other systems of shop management." Prepared at different times for different audiences and under circumstances that inspired different emphases, a study of all three is essential to one who seeks understanding of the dominant force that has guided the development of twentieth century management.
