Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scientific Management: A History and Criticism The first edition of this book appeared in 1915. It had been written under the supervision Of Professor Henry R. Seager of Columbia University. Subsequent to 1915, the author came into closer personal contact with many of the inen who had been active in the development of scientific management. T'heir criticisms were of much value when it came to the issuance of a revised edition in In the 1918 edition, the errors Of'the first edition were as far as possible eliminated, omissions filled, and the Whole account extended and recast so as to bring all parts of the discussion down to 1918. In the preparation of the present edition it has seemed best to leave the body of the book substantially as it was in 1918 - a history of scientific management down to that date - and to describe later tendencies and the present situation in this introduction. The reader who is not already more or less, familiar with scientific management should, there fore, turn first to the body of this book, reserving what here follows for later consideration.

Download or read book The Taylorized Beauty of the Mechanical written by Mauro F. Guillén and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dream of scientific management was a rationalized machine world where life would approach the perfection of an assembly line. But since its early twentieth-century peak this dream has come to seem a dehumanizing nightmare. Henry Ford's assembly lines turned out a quarter of a million cars in 1914, but all of them were black. Forgotten has been the unparalleled new aesthetic beauty once seen in the ideas of Ford and scientific management pioneer Frederick Winslow Taylor. In The Taylorized Beauty of the Mechanical, Mauro Guillén recovers this history and retells the story of the emergence of modernist architecture as a romance with the ideas of scientific management--one that permanently reshaped the profession of architecture. Modernist architecture's pioneers, Guillén shows, found in scientific management the promise of a new, functional, machine-like--and beautiful--architecture, and the prospect of a new role for the architect as technical professional and social reformer. Taylor and Ford had a signal influence on Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius and on Le Corbusier and his Towards a New Architecture, the most important manifesto of modernist architecture. Architects were so enamored with the ideas of scientific management that they adopted them even when there was no functional advantage to do so. Not a traditional architectural history but rather a sociological study of the profession of architecture during its early modernist period, The Taylorized Beauty of the Mechanical provides a new understanding of the degree to which modernist architecture emerged from a tradition of engineering and industrial management.

Download or read book Thinking Differently about Leadership written by Suze Wilson and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-27 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Thinking Differently about Leadership asks why and how we have come to understand leadership in the way we now do, and the consequences that arise from these understandings. Its critical interrogation of Classical Greek, Medieval and modern social-scientific ideas reveals troubling assumptions and problematic expectations for leaders and followers, which are key features of leadership theorizing both in the past and present day. By tracing developments in leadership thought over time, this book reveals the influence of ideas from history on current thinking, inviting reflection on what we now seek from leaders and followers. Its unique, multi-faceted analysis identifies non-scientific factors that have profoundly influenced the development of leadership science in the modern era. Arguing that conventional understandings of leadership today are deeply problematic, the book examines why we ought to think differently about leadership and offers an approach for doing so. The book offers a framework for leadership-building which readers can use to apply their own context, making it an ideal resource for critical management and leadership scholars as well as students and practitioners, who will value its novel focus and perspective."--Back cover.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Management written by Adrian Wilkinson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management, the pursuit of objectives through the organization and co-ordination of people, has been and is a core feature-and function-of modern society. Some 'classic' forms of corporate and bureaucratic management may be seen as the prevalent form of organization and organizing in the 20th century, but in the post-Fordist, global, knowledge-driven contemporary world we are seeing different patterns, principles, and styles of management as old models are questioned. The functions, ideologies, practices, and theories of management have changed over time, as recorded by many scholars, and may vary according to different models of organization, and between different cultures and societies. Whilst the administrative, corporate, or factory manager may be a figure on the wane, management as an ethos, organizing principle, culture, and field of academic teaching and research has increased dramatically in the last half century, and spread throughout the world. The purpose of this Handbook is to analyse and explore the evolution of management; the core functions and how they may have changed; its position in the culture/zeitgeist of modern society; the institutions and ideologies that support it; and likely challenges and changes in the future. This book looks at what management is, and how this may change over time. It provides an overview of management - its history, development, context, changing function in organization and society, key elements and functions, and contemporary and future challenges.
