Abstract Scientific management in public administration is usually associated with the Philadelphian, machinist and industrial engineer Frederick Winslow Taylor, who introduced high-priced efficiency studies into the workplace with a stopwatch and a clever method of analysis. In contrast, scientific management in philosophy finds more resonance with the ideas of the American pragmatist John Dewey, who conceived management as a species of intelligent inquiry, or scientifically-modeled problem solving.

Teachers College Record: The Voice of Scholarship in Education
Background/Context In recent decades, federal policymakers have pushed for education to be a more “scientific” endeavor. While scholars have considered the implications of this orientation for educational researchers, less attention has been given to its impact on educational practitioners. Purpose/Focus of the Study By focusing on the local interpretation and implementation of a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS) model in one Midwestern school district, this study documents the translation of a comprehensive reform initiative meant to make educational practice more data-driven and scientific. With particular attention to interactions between district and building administrators, classroom teachers, and a group of outside consultants, we also consider the consequential effects of principal–agent relations in determining how learners (should) learn and teachers (should) teach. Research Design Using ethnographic methods over a period of five months, this study emerged from a large.

The "Taylorism" method of scientific management was developed by Frederic Taylor during the Second World War. With the commercial change came a rapidly expanding pool of people searching for opportunities that required a new management strategy. The first management theory to be used internationally was scientific management. It supports the efficient use of resources for maximum productivity, motivating employees to earn more money. According to Taylor, the main obstacle to improving the productivity of human labour is managers' ineptitude. Taylor decided to get into agreements with other businesses for the reorganisation of the manufacturing processes to make the jobs that each employee had to do simpler. The employees at the Taylorized factories perform the same straightforward duty and don't do a lot of other things. Although there are still several indications that the majority of companies are using scientific management for their commercial operations, the concepts of scientific management have a significant impact on society as a whole. This article examines how McDonald’s has utilised the scientific management principles to establish its dominance.
