CONTRIBUTIONS OF FREDERICK WINSLOW TAYLOR IN SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT THEORY

F.W .Taylor is a most important figure in the history of management thoughts. He is known as the founder of "Scientific Management". He reformed the management through a thoughtful and systematic approach to its problems. Taylor found out that much of waste is because of the lack of order and system in management. He emphasized that usually management was ignorant about the amount of work performed by the workers in a day, and also about the best way of doing the job. As it remained at the mercy of workers.Taylor, thus suggested that management should adopt scientific methods for achieving higher efficiency.
