Specific Management

•      Taylorism or Scientific Management is a theory management that written by Frederick Winslow Taylor. He defined it as the best way to do the task for the workers by select the best person to do the job and give them motivation. Financial incentives give employees motivation to produce efficient productivity.  I am interested on this theory because it is fair for who produce more productivity, they will receive more money than those produce less. In Taylorism, managers the driving force, they have accountability for what their workers do. I think this type of theory is decentralization because everyone in an organization is equaled; they need to cooperate and share ideas to solve problems and issues. An example of a company that bases on this theory is Google. Last week, my friends and me did a presentation on Google and I have found that Google is a decentralize company. It empowers and motivates workers by provide the best environment, give them freedom and also, teamwork and creativity are encouraged.

One of the problems at work at the moment is social interaction. As a result of development in technology, more and more people and companies are using electronic devices. The reason people prefer to use technology because it is quicker and people don’t have to travel long ways to do businesses. Even though technical advancement helps business to succeed, but it damages the social interaction at work. In my opinion, social interaction makes it clearer for people in communication. For example, face-to-face meeting will help to solve the problems easily as you can gain better understanding of other’s opinion and feeling than using video conferencing. The best solution for this is just balance between the use of technology and social interaction so that social interaction will not be damaged. For instance, do not rely too much on email, employees should go and find managers to express their opinions.
