Bokutdrag utforskar taylorismens ursprung

Ett nytt bokutdrag beskriver framväxten av scientific management under slutet av artonhundratalet.

Frederick Winslow Taylor inledde sin karriär vid Midvale Steel Company på 1880-talet. Han hamnade i konflikt med arbetare angående produktivitetstakt efter att ha blivit arbetsledare. Taylor tillämpade senare tidsstudier vid Bethlehem Steel Company 1899, med fokus på arbetare som lastade tackjärn, däribland Henry Noll. År 1914 vittnade han inför Commission on Industrial Relations, där han försvarade sina metoder mot kritik från fackliga företrädare som John F. Tobin. Utdraget är hämtat från Control Science av Henry Snow, utgiven av Verso Books.
