So‚ scientific management works better with small companies which do not usually need to react to change (Caldari‚ 2007: 74).

In 1911‚ Frederick Taylor’s work‚ The Principles of Scientific Management was published. In his work‚ Taylor provided a demonstration of how the application of scientific principles to management could significantly increase the efficiency of an organization by spurring productivity among its workers (Evans & Holmes 2013‚ p. 7).
