Scientific Management is highly inflexible:
- Rules/Bureaucracy
- Specialized technology
- Specialized/unskilles workers
- Pepetuates a culture of inflexibility and conflict that is hard to change
Scientific Management is a competitive hindrance where
consumers are willing to pay a premium for specialty goods
Scientific Management can be easily imitated
Management
must find ways to become more efficient by relying more and more
on the ingenuity of its human resources, but
Scientific Management does not emphasize human resources'
creativity and commitment; it
encourages absenteeism and turnover (resistance to the system)
Nowadays, the workforce expects more than money from work
Scientific Management compromises quality; it is geared toward production numbers, mass production
Scientific Management is not geared toward process improvement
