While practicing managers, such as Fayol, who was mentioned earlier, were describing the functions of managers, a man named Frederick Taylor was focusing his attention on the operations within an organization by exploring production at the worker level. Taylor is acknowledged as the Father of Scientific Management for his use of the scientific method and as the author of Principles of Scientific Management (1911). Productivity was the area of focus in Scientific Management. Taylor, an engineer, introduced precise procedures based on systematic investigation of specific situations. The underlying point of view of Scientific Management is that the organization is a machine to be run efficiently to increase production. Scientific Management pioneered studies of time and motion that emphasized efficiency and culminated in “one best way” of carrying out work.
