Document Summary
Frederick winslow taylor, the principles of scientific management. We have but vaguely appreciated the importance of the larger question of increasing our national efficiency (1) We can see our forests vanishing, our water-powers going to waste, our soil being carried by floods into the sea; and the end of our coal and our iron is in sight. What we are all looking oris the readymade competent man; the man whom some one else has trained (1) No great man can hope to compete with a number of ordinary men who have been properly organized so as efficiently to cooperate (2) (1) to point out, through a series of illustrations, the great loss which the whole country is suffering through inefficiency [in all of our daily acs] (2) (2) to try to convince the reader that the remedy for this inefficiency lies in systematic management, rather than in searching for some unusual or extraordinary man.
