Scientific Management means knowing exactly what you want men to do and seem
that they do it in the best and the cheapest way.' Taylor developed various techniques
application of Scientific Management principles and was able to achieve a three-
increase in productivity in Bethlehem Steel Company, where he worked. One of
chniques helps to determine the number of workers to be employed; frame suitable
incentive schemes and labour costs. Another technique recognises those workers
able to accomplish/exceed the fair day's work and is based on the premise
efficiency is the result of the joint efforts of the managers and the workers.
Quoting the lines from the above paragraph, identify and explain the two techniques
Scientific Management.

Answer:
Scientific management is a theory of management that analyzes and synthesizes workflows. Its main objective is improving economic efficiency, especially labor productivity. It was one of the earliest attempts to apply science to the engineering of processes to management. Scientific management is sometimes known as Taylorism after its pioneer, Frederick Winslow Taylor.[1]
Frederick Taylor (1856–1915), leading proponent of scientific management
Taylor began the theory's development in the United States during the 1880s and 1890s within manufacturing industries, especially steel. Its peak of influence came in the 1910s;[2] Taylor died in 1915 and by the 1920s, scientific management was still influential but had entered into competition and syncretism with opposing or complementary ideas.
Although scientific management as a distinct theory or school of thought was obsolete by the 1930s, most of its themes are still important parts of industrial engineering and management today. These include: analysis; synthesis; logic; rationality; empiricism; work ethic; efficiency and elimination of waste; standardization of best practices; disdain for tradition preserved merely for its own sake or to protect the social status of particular workers with particular skill sets; the transformation of craft production into mass production; and knowledge transfer between workers and from workers into tools, processes, and documentation.
