Scientific Management

A usual 1st year business assignment will ask you to contrast the theory of scientific management with the multiple theories of human relations management.

We have a copy of F W Taylor's original text in the LRC at Luton. It is out of print now, and our copy was published in 1967. The original theory dates from 1911.

When approaching this question it may be advisable to look for journal articles on Business Source Premier database, rather than trying to obtain the book itself.

Credo Database also includes a very good ( though somewhat concise ) definition of the theory.
