Transformation of Modern Management Through Taylorism 2
Executive Summary
This work explains and gives a description of the Taylorism theory as well as corporating
the ideas borrowed from other theories and their application in business. It also shows the
functions and effects of the scientific theory of management on businesses. If these effects are
positive, are there companies or nations that still use or need the ideas of theory? The answer to
that question is well explained below. Besides, the work also explains application of theory in
different sectors within organizations.
Introduction
Taylorism is a scientific administration supported by Fred Taylor. In Taylor's idea, the
function of the industrial unit administration was to determine the best way for the employee to
perform the duty, to offer suitable apparatus and training, and to give motivations through
incentives for excellent performance. Fred Taylor bust every job down into its personality
movements, evaluated these to agree on which were important, and set time for the workers with
a stopwatch (Giannantonio, & Hurley-Hanson 2011, p. 9). With pointless movement prohibited,
the staff, observing a machine-like practice, became far more industrious and productive.
Taylorism was based on a systematic study of individuals, characters, and duties. The
responsibility or function of Taylorism was that they followed the system of breaking the work
progression into sub-duties or least possible sections with an objective to manage the most
efficient technique for accomplishing a scrupulous chore and duty.

Would workers in Australia, America or any other continent accept Taylorism in this form
today?
In the current setting, employees around America, Europe or Australia would not incorporate or
accept Taylorism in its initial form and status. A lot has changed in regards to the development
of technology and automation that is being applied by many companies today, and there is
absolutely no intelligence in putting into practice the instituted theory completely (Minshall,
2015, P.609). However, if it is currently applied or implemented, there would specific
ramifications needed to create the foundation theory a booming. Workers would not accept it
again because it is the management that takes control of all the activities. In this situation,
workers will feel demoralized since they are neglected in the daily planning process; it lacks
inclusivity.
2) Consider the design of scripts for use in Call Centres, can you see Taylorism in that?
Call centers all over the world always have positioned areas and drawn on labor markets,
where setting up powerful types of combined interest representation has been difficult. Similarly,
call centers have been described to contemptuously as “cost centers,” reflecting the approach that
customer service is a pricey and costly deplete on resources. The objective has characteristically
been to offer the least amount of service needed to make sure customer maintenance is kept and
maintained. With this idea in mind, call centers have been managed with plenty measured
quantity of scientific theory. Most of the current findings have criticized Taylor’s theory;
however, from the clip, Taylorism’s effects seem to be still a plague in many industries (Chung,
2013, p.54). Several parts of the business world have stubbornly held on to the Taylorism’s
legacy as tightly as call center as can be seen from the clip.
