Taylorist Management

Taylorist Management, developed by Frederick Winslow Taylor, is an approach that emphasizes efficiency through scientific analysis of work. It involves studying tasks closely to determine the most efficient way to perform them, standardizing procedures, and dividing work into specialized, repetitive tasks. Managers plan and control work processes, while workers focus on specific duties, aiming to maximize productivity and minimize waste. This management style focuses on measurable performance and systematic workflows, often leading to increased output but sometimes reducing worker autonomy. It laid the foundation for modern industrial organization and management practices centered on efficiency.
