Abstract
Scholarship on management history has reached a stage of maturity where it is now possible to develop periodisation, to refine concepts and meaningfully mesh with organisation studies. This paper extends this work to ‘Taylorism’. Long stated to be identical to ‘scientific management’ this article studies the two terms since the life of F.W. Taylor, recovers five distinct ‘Taylorisms’ from history. Building on related scholarship, it then addresses the issue of whether management scholarship has internally ‘evolved’ over time or whether external shocks such as government intervention, war, organised labor and political activism can take claim for key developments.
