The bullet points and questions for the self are characteristic of most 'selling' managerial sites. But where can one find a management website that is more practically informative than a historical and academic resource, like the Bamboo Website, but is not so blatantly self-interested in its approach as Simplify Your Business?

In a way, they are right. Taylor's glowing descriptions of the humanity of scientific management often did not match the reality of what management actually practiced. Many managers were quick to implement the rigid procedures and standards that were the basis for scientific management, but somehow never got around to implementing the raises and bonuses when the workers increased production..(Freeman, 1996, p. 43) While concentrating on improving the processes, Taylor
