Management Cooperation

In this principle, group formation, characteristics and effectiveness in an organizational structure and behavior is similar to that of the scientific management principle of cooperation. In order that a company may have good relations with its employees and all the members of the organization, cooperation is need. The collective effort of employees creates a better atmosphere and quality work within the company. This in turn produces high quality of production not only of needs but of knowledge.

In the new organizational structure and management, cooperation principle of scientific management is no longer used as a term, but evolved as a group formation, characteristics and effectiveness.

Moreover, because of such evolution and development in theories and approaches, organizations imbibed effective and new approaches in order to respond effectively to the ‘signs of the times’ the demands generated by the phenomenon of globalization and global competition.

“Management Research”

This revised principle of scientific management clearly seen and used in the new organizational structure and design. The need for research and constant examination of designs, structures, and approaches inside the organization is imperative.

Truly, Taylor is right when he emphasized the very need of rigid formulation of standards based on credible and empirical research process. In this context, new organizational processes and methods subscribe to this approach of continuous research and evaluation of the entire organization and how it become more competitive and adaptive to the rapid changes and development of time. Therefore, management research or organizational research is not really a new method or approach rather derived from the theory of scientific management.
