Taylor, Frederick William
Taylor, Frederick William (1856–1915) The founder of scientific management, who developed controversial theories of work-study and industrial efficiency, in the conflict-ridden American steel industry at the end of the nineteenth century. Taylor achieved national renown but his hostility to trade-union controls on effort, and his technicism directed at financial interests, provoked both political and industrial opposition.
