The Principles of Scientific Management

This is a management classic that is actually a short booklet. It is Taylor's key statement of his approach to developing standards for work performance on the basis of study and observation as opposed to a reliance on standard "rules of thumb."

First sentence: President Roosevelt, in his address to the Governors at the White House, prophetically remarked that "The conservation of our national resources is only preliminary to the larger question of national efficiency."
