"Management Principles Complete Courseware Chapter Two History.pptx" provides an overview of the development of management science. From the pre-historic era to the rise of scientific management by Frederick Taylor, the evolution of management theories and practices is explored in detail. The pre-historic era of management was characterized by empirical practices, with management activities evolving over thousands of years through experiences, talented individuals, and established norms. Notable contributions during this period include Adam Smith's division of labor, Babich's insights, and Owen's humanism. The emergence of professional managers in the United States further shaped the foundations of modern management. Frederick Taylor, a key figure in the history of management, revolutionized the field with his scientific management principles. Known for his focus on efficiency, Taylor's experiments with stopwatch timing and iron shoveling demonstrated the importance of standardized work methods and time quotas. Despite criticisms, Taylor's followers continued to refine his theories, contributing to the rise of management science as a distinct discipline. Overall, the development of management science has been shaped by a series of influential figures and milestones, each contributing to our understanding of organizational behavior and efficiency. As we continue to study and apply these principles, we are able to enhance our ability to effectively lead and manage in today's complex business environment."
