SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT: A Management Idea to Reach a Mass AudienceThe subject of scientific management has been treated comprehensively in this book. There is a continuity of presentation from chapter to chapter which especiaaly adapts the book to such a usage. This text can be used as conventional recitation course, or as background source of information for student reading in connection with lecture discussion courses. We have attempted throughout the text to bring into bold relief the fundamental principles rather than to present only an encyclopaedic compilation of undigested and sometime contradictory facts. A consistent attempt has been made to keep the discussion abreast of modern developments without neglecting concepts which have stood the test of time |
