Frederick Taylor: The Father of Scientific Management who was influenced by Wilson’s essay.
1. Adopt scientific measurements to break jobs into series of small, related tasks and develop a standard time for each task.
2. Use systematic methods for selecting workers and training them for specific jobs.
3. Establish clear division of responsibility between management and workers, where management sets goals, plans, and supervises, and the workers execute the required tasks.
4. Establish a discipline where management sets the objectives and the workers cooperate in achieving them.
