F.W. Taylor and Scientific Management
Scientific Management≈The systematic study of the relationships
between people and tasks for the purpose ofredesigning the work process to increaseefficiency.
2-8
Four Principles of Scientific Management
Study the way workers perform their tasks, gather allthe informal job knowledge that workers possess andexperiment with ways of improving how tasks areperformed Time-and-motion study
Codify the new methods of performing tasks into writtenrules and standard operating procedures
Carefully select workers who possess skills andabilities that match the needs of the task, and trainthem to perform the task according to the establishedrules and procedures
Establish a fair or acceptable level of performance for atask, and then develop a pay system that provides areward for performance above the acceptable level
2-9
Problems with Scientific Management
Managers frequently implemented only theincreased output side of Taylor’s plan.≈Workers did not share in the increased output.
Specialized jobs became very boring, dull.≈Workers ended up distrusting the Scientific
Management method.
Workers could purposely “under-perform.”≈Management responded with increased use of
machines and conveyors belts.
2-10
The Gilbreths
1. Break up and analyze every individual actionnecessary to perform a particular task into eachof its component actions
2. Find better ways to perform each componentaction
3. Reorganize each of the component actions so
that the action as a whole could be performedmore efficiently-at less cost in time and effort

Decision Making
Intuition≈ feelings, beliefs, and hunches that come
readily to mind, require little effort andinformation gathering and result in on-the-spotdecisions
Reasoned judgment≈decisions that take time and effort to make
and result from careful information gathering,generation of alternatives, and evaluation ofalternatives

alternatives?

The Administrative Model
Bounded rationality

≈Decisions are limited by people’s cognitivelimitations.
Incomplete information
≈Because of risk and uncertainty, ambiguity,and time constraints
