Description:

Reprint. First published: Taylorism at Watertown Arsenal. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1960. With new foreword.

Synopsis:

The book is a balanced analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of Taylorism, including the naivete that led its proponents to ignore the emotional side of the complex roles and patterns that govern the world of work.Originally published in 1985.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
