One. Early Management and Scientific Management Theory (nineteen hundred to nineteen thirty)
. Frederick W. Taylor ("Father of Scientific Management"): Advocated replacing "rule-of-thumb" work methods with scientific analysis. Postulated that workers could be taught "one best way" to complete a task. Viewed humans as "economic animals" motivated primarily by money. Utilized time and motion studies to design work tasks and paid workers differential rates.
. Frank and Lillian Gilbreth: Lillian is known as "The First Lady of Management". Used motion picture films to analyze physical movements and streamline tasks. Emphasized job simplification, fatigue reduction, and categorized hand movements into seventeen motion units called "Therbligs".
. Henry Gantt: Disciple of Taylor who advocated for humanitarian management and created the Gantt Chart for production scheduling.
