58% of new managers don’t receive any training to help them make the transition

When he first took over the business a year ago, Davis had worried that the local labor shortage might make it difficult to hire good workers. But he had made some contacts at a local college and hired a group of servers who worked well with customers and with one another. The only problem he still had not solved was the dishwasher. At first Davis felt lucky when he found Eddie Munz, a local high school dropout who had some experience washing dishes. Davis could not afford to pay a dishwasher more than $4 an hour, but Eddie did not seem to mind that. Moreover, Eddie seemed to get the dishes clean. But he was so slow!

- Hi students, The late Peter Drucker, arguably one of the most re-spected and influential writers on management in the twentieth century, observed:Whatever his limitations and shortcomings—and he had many—no other American, not even Henry Ford (1863–1947), had anything like Taylor’s impact. “Scientific Management” (and its successor, “Industrial Engineering”) is the one American philosophy that has swept the world—more so even than the Constitution and the Federalist Papers. In the last century there has been only one worldwide philosophy that could compete with Taylor’s: Marxism. And in the end Taylor has triumphed over Marx.Comment on Drucker’s observations about the Taylor system. Do you agree with his statement about Taylor versus Marx?
