Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 2.0, University of Tubingen (Neophilologische Fakultaet), course: American Studies (Seminar), language: English, abstract: America at the turn-of-the century was a rising nation. It was the time of the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era. It was in those years when Frederick Jackson Turner stated his “Frontier Thesis” and in which names like Rockefeller, the industrialist, Upton Sinclair, the writer or the W.E.B. Du Bois, the black leader, became well-known. A few decades after the end of Civil War the country was still in search of an identity, what it wanted and what it stood for. The unrelenting conflict on the meaning of the term America was visible in various fields such as immigration, consumerism and the development of America’s economic system. The struggle for the shaping of America’s economic system can be more narrowly defined as the fight between the two production factors capital and labor. The intention of this paper is to clarify what Scientific Management was, how it affected managers and workers, in others terms capital and labor. The following pages are going to show criticism of Scientific Management and qualify that. Furthermore, an assessment of Scientific Management and its results are given. The primary question of this paper is what impact did Scientific Management as one invention of America at the turn-of-the-century have on the country at that time, and whether there are remainders of Scientific Management either in America or in other parts of the world that are persistent today.

This book was released on 1989-10-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that the "authoritarian" depiction of Frederick Taylor trivializes his important contribution. Schachter's analysis of Taylor's work shows that he actually originated many of the human relations insights that the literature attributes to Mayo, Maslow, and McGregor. Introduced are two major arguments. Through an examination of Taylor's work, a new way of understanding his actual approach to management is opened. Also discussed are the political and historical reasons that led to the distortion of his work.

Book excerpt: Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915) lived at a time when few scientific principles existed in the practice of management. He sought to bring rationalization and standardization to the shop floor. By careful scientific observation through time-and-motion studies, jobs were broken down into their simplest components. Work methods of the most skilled workers were analyzed to ascertain the optimal way to perform a job. Workers were then carefully selected, trained and given the proper tools to do the job. Based on scientific observation, a fair day's production standard for each task was set and piece rate system put in place to maximize the incentive value for workers.
