Scientific Management And Labor Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Management and the Worker This book and its two companion volumes are designed to present a complete picture of the common problems that arise in handling human relations in any business, large or small. The method of treatment throughout is the one that seems logically suggested by the nature of the problem itself. Theory has been the approach in very many earlier volumes treating the same question, but the relations between employers and employees are today so practical, the points ordinarily at issue between them have been defined so often and so completely, and so much experience has accumulated in handling the problems, that the only satisfactory treatment today seems to be an analysis of methods actually being used and proving successful. This book is designed primarily for those who face the problems of employee management. Business today is a huge laboratory in which numerous intensely interesting industrial experiments are being tried. Some of these experiments are still in too early a stage to determine how well they may succeed, or whether they will succeed at all. Only in two or three instances have these been touched on in the present volume. There are many other plans, however, that have been thoroughly tried and their success proved by results. The bulk of this volume and its companion titles are made up of descriptions of the methods used in these concerns.
