Please watch the video on Taylorism. Discuss why you think Frederick Taylor, who is

considered the father of scientific management, was pivotal. Why do you think

Frederick Taylor$$s ideas were important at that point in history? How did his

management principles revolutionize work? Why were his ideas introduced into the

factory, and what did they accomplish?

$2.$ Why can an event such as the Hawthorne studies be a major turning point in the history

of management, even if the results of the studies are later shown to be in error? How

did the Hawthorne studies shift the way that managers treat their employees, and how

did they show the power of teamwork?

Additional information: One of the main contributions of the Hawthorne studies

was the importance of group cohesiveness $($dynamics$)$ in stimulating productivity.

A manager can ensure efficiency by asking employees $($who are closest to the

work$)$ how a job should be accomplished. A blog post that covers some of these

relational topics is Communication is not a one size fits all.

$3.$ Frank and Lillian Gilbreth are famous within scientific management for their motion

studies, where they broke down individual movements to increase efficiency.

The Gilbreths, who later became Taylor disciples, championed time and motion

studies to further squeeze inefficiencies from organizational systems. Is monitoring

still in use today? What forms does it take and what types of organizations might use

these types of motion studies? Please explain.
