	Employee motivation. Motivation in the workplace- theory and practice
		Taylor formalized the principles of scientific management, and the fact-finding approach put forward and largely adopted was a replacement for what had been the old rule of thumb.
		Taylor was not the originator of many of his ideas, but was a pragmatist with the ability to synthesize the work of others and promote them effectively to a ready and eager audience of industrial managers who were striving to find new or improved ways to increase performance.
		Taylor's impact has been so great because he developed a concept of work design, work-measurement, production control and other functions, that completely changed the nature of industry.

	Frederick W. Taylor and Scientific Management: Efficiency or Dehumanization?
		Taylor warned [3] of the risks managers make in attempting to make change in what would presently be called, the culture, of the organization.
		Taylor's attitudes towards workers were laden with negative bias "in the majority of cases this man deliberately plans to do as little as he safely can." [15] The methods that Taylor adopted were directed solely towards the uneducated.
		Taylor saw the weaknesses of piece work in the workers reactions to gradual decreases in the piece rate as the worker produced more pieces by working harder and/or smarter.

		Taylor understood the workers’ concern for preserving their standard of living; nonetheless, he was convinced that meaningful improvements in the lot of common workers could only be attained through increases in efficiency and production.
		Frederick Taylor learned that the scientific method and advances in machine technology hold the key to increases in efficiency and progress from the society in which he lived.
		Taylor wanted to test his calculation that a man should be able to load 45 tons of pig iron in one day, more than three times what the men had been loading.

	Frederick Winslow Taylor and Scientific Management (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Taylor saw the worker as but one element in a work and work control system -- the worker was to do the work and the management was to exercise control...
		It was Taylor's goal to collect raw data about the jobs in the workplace, and then to systematize that knowledge; to replace old habits and rules of thumb with precise and usually quantitative analysis.
		Taylor was concerned by what he saw as considerable inefficiency in the typical workplace of his era.

	Frederick Taylor & Scientific Management (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Taylor became interested in improving worker productivity early in his career when he observed gross inefficiencies during his contact with steel workers.
		Taylor argued that even the most basic, mindless tasks could be planned in a way that dramatically would increase productivity, and that scientific management of the work was more effective than the "initiative and incentive" method of motivating workers.
		In another study of the "science of shoveling", Taylor ran time studies to determine that the optimal weight that a worker should lift in a shovel was 21 pounds.

	Frederick Taylor's "What Is Scientific Management?"
		Taylor explains that the employer and employee must strive to work their best to increase the surplus, which one gets when subtracting the wages of the workers from the profit.
		Taylor describes how his concept of maximizing the surplus is “the great revolution that takes place in the mental attitude of the two parties” (p.14).
		Taylor’s point about the surplus is not a form of job design because it does not concentrate on how managers analyze the work process.

	Frederick W. Taylor
		Frederick W. Taylor was born in 1856 in Philadelphia to a wealthy family.
		He had intended a university education at Harvard, but ill-health forced him to consider an alternative career.
		Taylor believed that contemporary management was amateurish, and should be studied as a discipline; that workers should co-operate (and hence would not need Trade Unions); and that the best results would come from the partnership between a trained and qualified management and a co-operative and innovative workforce.

	Business Biography
		Frederick Winslow Taylor, the father of scientific management, was born on March 20, 1865, into an upper class liberal Philadelphia family.
		Taylor's critics said he was too harsh because his innovative plan caused people to lose their jobs, referring to his replacing of 120 workers with only 35 at Simonds.
		Among Taylor's other contributions to Bethlehem in 1901 were a real time analysis of daily output and costs, a modern cost accounting system, reduced yard worker's ranks from 500 to 140, doubled stamping mill production, and lowered cost per ton of materials handled from eight cents to four cents.

	Inventor Frederick Winslow Taylor Biography
		Taylor developed detailed systems intended to gain maximum efficiency from both workers and machines in the factory.
		Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915) was the first efficiency expert, the original time-and-motion man -- the father of scientific management, the inventor of a system that became known, inevitably enough, as Taylorism.
		A careful reading of Taylor's work will reveal that he placed the worker's interest as high as the employer's in his studies, and recognized the importance of the suggestion box, for example, in a machine shop.

	Frederick Taylor In The Classroom: Standardized Testing And Scientific Management
		Taylor and his disciples cited the search for efficiency, “the one best way” to do a job, as justification for such changes.
		After Taylor’s death in 1914, scientific management spread throughout the world, and it has influenced everything from advice to housewives on how to do their chores to how Japanese (and later American) cars have been made.
		The best example of Frederick Taylor’s ideas at work in education today are high-stakes standardized tests -- tests which have a significant effect on funding for schools and the careers of individual students.

		Yet, as Frederick Taylor's impressive book shows, Dresden was not the delicate china ornament she appeared to be.
		But, as Taylor says in his preface, a legend has grown up that the city was an innocent victim, singled out for unusually harsh treatment.
		Taylor focuses not only on the big story, but on the people at its heart – British airmen, Jewish families, the odious governor of Dresden.

	Biografia de Frederick Winslow Taylor
		Procedente de una familia acomodada, Frederick Taylor abandonó sus estudios universitarios de Derecho por un problema en la vista y a partir de 1875 se dedicó a trabajar como obrero en una de las empresas industriales siderúrgicas de Filadelfia.
		Taylor se hizo ingeniero asistiendo a cursos nocturnos y, tras luchar personalmente por imponer el nuevo método en su taller, pasó a trabajar de ingeniero jefe en una gran compañía siderúrgica de Pennsylvania (la Bethlehem Steel Company) de 1898 a 1901.
		Taylor se rodeó de un equipo con el que desarrolló sus métodos, completó sus innovaciones organizativas con descubrimientos puramente técnicos (como los aceros de corte rápido, en 1900) y publicó varios libros defendiendo la «organización científica del trabajo» (el principal fue Principios y métodos de gestión científica, 1911).

		Taylor explains that a significant factor in the death toll was the incompetence and corruption of Dresden's Nazi leaders who did not build the types of air raid shelters that German regulations required, shelters that reduced casualties from such raids in other German cities.
		Taylor explains that by 1942 the British believed that firebombing destruction of cities, disrupting the total life of the cities, and murdering thousands of civilians, was the only way that their night bombing be used.
		Taylor who is out to dispel the "myths" surrounding the notorious saturation bombing totes a questionable fine line as to whether he is arguing a case for military target legitimacy...

		Taylor proposed a form of improvement feedback incentive for workers by giving them full credit for the improvement, and be paid a cash premium as a reward.
		His work is seen by many as inhumane, however many consider his scientific management had a major impact on quality standards.
