MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATION IN GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTActivity 1: Ford and Taylorism1.The workers in Australia, America or Europe would not accept the Taylorism in its original formtoday. In today’s world the organizations do not directly apply the Taylorism in its original form,the modification others are combined before implementing these strategies in the organizations(Waring 2016). In contemporary Australia the practice Taylorism is largely discredited by mostcompanies. However many researchers suggest that Taylorism still significantly exists in manyareas of business. The engineers apply industrialized Taylorism in the business through theirapplicability. In businesses like retail, insurance or banks the simple work measurement processhas transformed into a process that includes ergonomics or digital technology. The employershave a significant role in the origin of taylorist practice. However this was not predominantlyadapted by the employers all over the world.
