Who is universally recognized as the ‘Father of Scientific Management’?

Explanation

• Frederick Winslow Taylor developed Scientific Management in the early 20th century, focusing on optimizing efficiency, productivity, and task standardization using scientific inquiry.
• Taylor introduced time-and-motion studies, functional foremanship, and differential piece-rate pay to eliminate worker inefficiency (soldiering).
• Do not confuse Taylor with Henri Fayol (Father of Modern Operational Management) or Max Weber (Father of Bureaucratic Theory).
