摘要

Almost since the day it began, the dominant academic discipline behind the "science" of management has been engineering. When Oxford University first allowed management to be taught as an undergraduate subject (as recently as the late 1970s), it was introduced as a combined "engineering and management" degree. Some of the most famous management gurus, notably Michael Porter, Michael Hammer and Tom Peters, trained as engineers first. Many of the most influential business leaders were also engineers, including Alfred Sloan, who built General Motors, and Jack Welch of GE. Their training taught them to divide things up into small pieces, make each piece better and then put them all together again. It was a bit like Legoland. Management science's founding father was yet another engineer: Frederick Wins-low Taylor, who wandered round factories with a stopwatch and a clipboard to measure workers' productivity. It was the job of the managers, he told them, to improve that productivity by refining the processes the workers had to perform. In Taylor's world, improvement was defined by time and motion.
