美国古典管理学家、科学管理的主要倡导人弗雷德里克·泰勒这样定义科学管理:“诸种要素——不是个别要素的结合,构成了科学管理,它可以概括如下:科学,不是单凭经验的方法。协调,不是不和别人合作,不是个人主义。最高的产量,取代有限的产量。发挥每个人最高的效率,实现最大的富裕。” Frederick Taylor, the American classical management scientist and chief proponent of scientific management, defined scientific management like this: “The various elements—not the combination of individual elements, constitutes scientific management. It can be summarized as follows: Science, not alone. Experience-based approach.Coordination is not not working with others, not individualism. The highest yield, replacing limited production.Using everyone’s highest efficiency to achieve maximum wealth."
