  • Taylorism revisited culture management theory and paradigm shift
    2015
    Co-Authors: Morgen Witzel, Malcolm Warner
    Abstract:

    In this article, we look at the role of culture, management theory and paradigm-shift vis a vis their implications for general management. We focus in depth on the influence of the European Enlightenment on eighteenth and nineteenth century industrialism and the emergence of a possibly dominant paradigm in management theory in the twentieth century, namely 'Scientific Management' or 'Taylorism', as it became known. We also examine how, in turn, it shaped the next development in the narrative - 'Human Relations' - and its successors 'Organizational Behaviour' and 'Human Resource Management'.

  • Taylorism teams and technology in reengineering work organization
    New Technology Work and Employment, 1994
    Co-Authors: Robert F Conti, Malcolm Warner
    Abstract:

    This article critically examines the phenomenon of ‘Reengineering’ (or Business Process Reengineering: as it is sometimes called) as a transfer of ‘just-in-time’ techniques developed in manufacturing to the office environment. The article concludes that its most likely diffusion will be for ‘downsizing’ and ‘cost-reduction’, and may result in a modest degree of success in only some of its applications to manufacturing and office environments.

  • japanese culture western management Taylorism and human resources in japan
    Organization Studies, 1994
    Co-Authors: Malcolm Warner
    Abstract:

    This paper attempts to examine Taylorism and the development of Human Resources Management (HRM) in Japan. It looks at the translation of Taylor's works, books based on his ideas, and direct applications of 'Scientific Manage ment' as well as the later work of practitioners promoting their diffusion in Japanese enterprises. It concludes that imported Taylorism was an important factor in the development of what most observers have held to be a uniquely indigenous Japanese system of organization and management, and that late Tay lorism may have been the bridge to Total Quality Management (TQM) in the post-war period. Japan's clear contribution, it concludes, was to absorb and adapt such imported concepts and practices in an 'organization-oriented' rather than a 'market-oriented' context.

  • Taylorism new technology and just in time systems in japanese manufacturing
    New Technology Work and Employment, 1993
    Co-Authors: Robert F Conti, Malcolm Warner
    Abstract:

    This article attempts to examine what is believed to be a significant overall Taylorist influence in Japanese manufacturing as well as a specific manifestation of this phenomenon, namely the unique flow requirements of the generic Toyota system (JIT). The use of unbufferred flow, it is argued, is feasible only with consistent quality, thus making non-discretionary Taylorist job design a necessary condition.
