Marking-scheme solution
(i)
Science, not Rule of Thumb
•There was only one best method to maximize efficiency
which can be developed through study and analysis.
•Scientific method involved investigation of
traditional methods, unifying the best practices and
developing a standard method, which would be
followed throughout the organisation.
(ii)
Harmony, not Discord
•There should be complete harmony between the
management and workers. Both should realise that
each one is important.
• To achieve this, Taylor called for complete mental
revolution on the part of both, management and
workers. Management should share the gains of the
company with the workers and at the same time,
workers should work hard and be willing to embrace
change for the good of the company.
(iii)
Development of each and every person to his or her
greatest efficiency and prosperity
•Each person should be scientifically selected, then work
should be assigned to suit his physical, mental and
intellectual capabilities.
• To increase efficiency, workers should be given the
required training. Efficient employees would produce
more and earn more. This will ensure their greatest
efficiency and prosperity for both, company and
workers.
