Fredeick Winslow Taylor was an engineer and later manager at Midvale Steel Works in Philadelphia. Taylor divided manual tasks into a series of components.
This resulted in the measurement of the productivity of workers.
This idea gave birth to the very first business bestseller, ''The Principle of Scientific Management', published in 911, after Taylor's first book, ''A Piece-Rate System'', published in 1895.
In the present time, scientific management is perceived as promoting the dehumanizing side of industrialization.
