Taylorism
Taylorism or Scientific management is the name of the approach to management and Industrial/Organizational Psychology initiated by Frederick Winslow Taylor in his 1911 monograph "The Principles of Scientific Management".
Taylorism is often mentioned along with Fordism, because it was closely associated with mass production methods in manufacturing factories. Taylor's own name for his approach was scientific management. It relied upon labor unions.
The practical problems caused by Taylorism led to its replacement by the human relations school of management.
