About this title: "This book is not merely the precursor of modern organization and decision theory, it is in many respects its origin. . . . A seminal work: an often misinterpreted work: and an indipensable source of administrative theory." -Arch T. Dodson, Cornell University

"As a glimpse of an important part of organizational history, this is an linchpin book to read. As a practical matter of utility in modern organizational life, it is less so. Indeed, many of the practices advocated by Taylor would be inadvisable or even illegal in today's world. Nonetheless, his work, and that of some of his contemporaries, formed a strong foundation for later innovations and practices in industrial psychology and organizational behavior."
