in managing.
PLAN OF PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDY USED HERE.--It has, therefore, seemed best to base the discussion that is to follow upon arbitrary divisions of scientific management, that is-- 1. To enumerate the underlying principles on which scientific management rests. 2. To show in how far the other two types of management vary from Scientific Management. 3. To discuss the psychological aspect of each principle. ADVANTAGES OF THIS PLAN OF STUDY.--In this way the reader can gain an idea of 1. The relation of Scientific Management to the other types of management. 2. The structure of Scientific Management. 3. The relation between the various elements of Scientific Management. 4. The psychology of management in general, and of the three types of management in particular. UNDERLYING IDEAS AND DIVISIONS OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT.--These underlying ideas are grouped under nine divisions, as follows:-- 1. Individuality. 2. Functionalization. 3. Measurement. 4. Analysis and Synthesis. |
