Assess the main aspects of F. W. Taylor’s Scientific Management Theory

Expert Solution
Step 1

Frederic Taylor,s Scientific Management theory is the theory of Management, so Taylor had actually experimented and seen the observation of his theory before introducing it to the world.

Now,lets know first that, what is Scientific Management all about,so earlier what used to happen when industrialization process started, managers were  not aware about what should i do when problem comes in so what they use to to do is , they used to follow their intuition, so they used to see if they have similar kind of problem in past and how they dealt with it  and they used to follow the same solution or take advice from the fellow managers, so there was no set rules and managers used to solve the problem based on the personal experience, so this is known as Rule of thumb which managers followed earlier.

And in words of Taylor Scientific management means knowing exactly as what men to do and see that they do it in the best and cheapest ways, the statement means first you decide what you want from your men that that is from your workers or employees, and also how they can do it in the best manner and in the cheapest way, so this is what a Scientific Management is all about.
