How to manage your organization scientifically

Abstract

Reflects on the classical administrative approach to strategic management. Discusses how theoretically prescribed steps for improving the organization’s functions of supplies management, sales management, supply chain management and total quality management are rooted in the scientific management paradigm. Provides prescriptive help for those strategists who seek to improve their functions and/or undertake business process re‐engineering and benchmarking. Uses private and public organization illustrations to demonstrate scientific management at work at the end of the twentieth century.
