Scientific Management is a system that was originated from Fredrick W. Taylor (1911)‚ which composite analysis of worker’s individual workflow and their labour productivity. The main purpose of this theory is to maximize efficiency within organisations to speed up the process of work in the minimum amount of time and cost incurred by the organisation (Ross 2010). Taylor believed that the most efficient way that work could be done was only when workers knew what they were doing and not merely working

Scientific theories must have testable predictions. Predictions are made based on observations and then experiments can be done to test the theoretical predictions. The experiments will either verify or falsify the predictions made. Here we are going to discuss the hypotheses of phyletic gradualism and punctuated equilibrium. The pattern of evolution can be described as happening gradually‚ over time‚ as in the hypothesis of phyletic gradualism or by punctuated equilibrium. In the theory of

Through research and meticulous analysis‚ only then could a process be established‚ fully grounded in scientific fact. It is these principles that allowed Taylor to establish scientific management‚ a management theory used to improve productivity. Frederick Taylor‚ known as the father of modern management‚ was born into an affluent Philadelphia family‚ and studied engineering at Steven’s Institute
