A Symposium On Scientific Management And Efficiency In College Administration Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from A Symposium on Scientific Management and Efficiency in College Administration The purposes of the papers of this session are to show: 1. What scientific management is. 2. What it can do. 3. Its possible bearing upon, and application to, academic efficiency. Scientific management is measured, functionalized management, - management that has submitted to measurement, and that has, through the results of this measurement, so divided and arranged its work as to demand and utilize individuality in its workers. We may well represent such management by the following functional chart. "X-x" represents the division between the planning and the performing. The five circles above the line "x" represent the superintendent and the four functions of the planning department, - the five circles below the line "x," the four functions of the performing department and the individual worker. The lines connecting the various circles represent the lines of authority, if read downward; the paths from which direction and teaching come, if read upward. This chart not only shows the method of operation of scientific management, but also indicates the universality of its field of application. It is this universality that the various speakers and writers at this session will show. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
