Abstract
The Principles of Scientific Management are an ever living monograph which has been at the center of the focus of students and schollars of management sciences since it was published in 1911.1 Under the management system, factories are managed through scientific methods rather than by use of the “rule of thumb” so widely prevalent in the days of the late nineteenth century The proponent of the idea was Frederick Winslow Taylor—a mechanical engineer at Midvale Steel, Philadelphia, USA, who looked beyond the technical side of manufacturing and got to be known for economizing of efforts and raising the productivity at the work place. Owing to its path breaking significance the monograph has so far been translated into several languages to shape the managerial processes around the world in line with the drills and procedures desingned in Taylorism. According to Hirschhorn, Taylor's work highlights the relationship between rationalization in general and laborcontrol methods in particular
