The Principles of Scientific Management - Hardcover

by Frederick Winslow Taylor (Author)

Today, the science of management is big business, with leading gurus and consultants raking in billions of dollars each year. It's hard to believe that little more than a century ago, the concept of management as a separate discipline didn't even exist. Mechanical engineer Frederick Winslow Taylor almost single-handedly pioneered the field with the publication of this classic text. Managers or those in technical or industrial fields will find this to be fascinating reading.
