For your second assignment, select an industry that has undergone significant change in terms of organizational understanding, people management, complexity, and use of scientific theory in management. Generally, these are industries or businesses that radically evolved during the first half of the 20th century. Describe the changes that occurred to the business or industry in terms of its evolution in management.
Module #3 includes reading chapters 7-18 in the Wren textbook. This section covers Taylorism (scientific management), the Gilbreths and others. Years ago, I read Cheaper by the Dozen and it became one of my favorite books. Now, I am meeting the Gilbreths once again.
