Description
Summary:The introduction of New Technologies within industries and the resulting changes in labour have inspired management models that mark a break with the traditional methods of scientific management. But a disagreement remains among the labour theorists on the nature and significance of the breaking with Taylorism. However the various definitions of Taylorism which are behind this disagreement comes from a deeply common vision of scientific management: a specific mode of prescription and control of the individual labourer. It is necessary to assess the issues of the debate on post-Taylorism by considering the evolution of labour management models from the figure of the collective worker and Taylorism itself as a set of general principles of the collective worker management at the era of machinery. This implies to clearly distinguish between these principles and the methods used in Scientific Management. In this way, the current Management Competency Model shows its faithfulness with Taylorist management principles by bringing them to their higher form of achievement.
