Despite being nearly 100 years old, this is still an interesting book, although time passed by has made it more entertaining than scientific. (

Seems quite anachronistic today. Taylor was not exactly politically correct. Still, his influence on today's TQ movement is unmistakeable. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0486299880, Paperback)

The basis of modern organization and decision theory, this influential essay has motivated administrators and students of managerial technique for more than 80 years. The author discusses eliminating inefficiency through a system based on principles applicable to individual and collective activities. A ground-breaking, and still-inspiring work.
