Work of Taylor and Fayol: Similarities and Difference
Work of Taylor and Fayol: Similarities and Difference
The works of both – Taylor and Fayol are of a practical nature. Both have
recommended concepts and principles which had been tried by them
during their managerial career. No part of work of any of these two,
belongs to the world of theory.
Likewise, Taylor suggests the need for a complete mental revolution on the
part of management and workers – an ‘ideal’ deeply pro-fused with a
human approach to scientific managing.
Taylor’s contribution is, rather, of a limited nature. He has just given the
concept, techniques, and principles of a philosophy called scientific
management. Fayol’s contribution, on the other hand, is somewhat more
comprehensive.
