Description

What do the terms “Taylorism” or “scientific management” bring to mind? Difficult work environments? Managers push workers to their limits? Do more with less? But these were not the original intentions. The real intentions were to help workers conserve energy and complete their tasks more safely and efficiently. In an upcoming episode we will present the works of Louis Brandeis who coined the term scientific management and who wanted to professionalize business in ways that equally benefit customers and workers.
