A Comparative Review: Frederick Taylor and Frank Gilbreth
This Review discusses Frederick Winslow Taylor as one of the most influential - and luckiest - management theorists who ever lived. As we trace his saga, repeatedly we find instances where some unnecessary, at times even frivolous, act prepared him in a way that permitted a major achievement a month, a year, or a decade later. As for the other side of the equation, new opportunities came in droves because he was "lucky" with his old opportunities. 11 pgs. 5 f/c. 8b.
