About this book
Management, argues Frederick Winslow Taylor, is still treated as a matter of finding the right man, when it ought to be an art with laws as exact as those of engineering. The text begins from two observations: how unevenly the parts of management develop even in the best-run works, and how little visible link there is between good shop management and dividends.
An example is the merger of two rival chemical makers. One owner had come up through the office and the other from the factory floor; afterwards the books showed one making his product over forty per cent cheaper, while the other led in buying, selling and quality. Taylor was an American engineer.
