Scientific Management
'Federic Taylor's Scientific Management reflects an approach to managing that is no longer appropriate for today’s managers'.
Critically evaluate this statement with particular reference to an example from workspace with which you are familiar.
Guidance: Many management textbooks claim that Taylor's ideas are no longer appropriate, but consider whether an organization can operate without clear rules, hierarchy and division of labor. Many large and successful organizations, such as McDonalds hamburger chain or call centers, appear to use a modern version of scientific management. It would also be a good idea to consider whether these sort of generalizations can be applied in a global manner, or whether they tend to reflect the dominance of the US experience in management theory. If you can't think of examples from your own workplace, then do some research (using fully referenced library or internet sources) about these issues in different organizations.
