Taylor, Frederick W. The Principles of Scientific Management. New York: Harper, 1911. New York: Norton, 1967.

To its enemies, "scientific management" meant reducing workers to automata doing their jobs in the manner their bosses' hired experts ruled most efficient. In mechanized industries, this meant fitting workers ever more perfectly to the rhythm of the machines. For further readings on FWT and Taylorism, see C. H. Rhodes, "Frederick Winslow Taylor's System of Scientific Management," cited under Literary Criticism; see also under Literary Criticism,[1] "Man as Robot," the CW essay by G. Beauchamp.[2]
