Abstract:

In an effort to renew a century-old theory of management, Frederick Winslow Taylor’s Principles of Scientific Management were evaluated in the context of one of the newest forms of team structure, the integrated product team (IPT). A review of Taylor’s 1911 seminal work was compared against qualitative data collected at an organization that has recently adopted an IPT structure for several of its major projects. While the literature review and qualitative interview data regarding integrated product teams does not coincide with Taylor’s first principle, the remaining three principles hold some degree of applicability.
