The link went to Susan Ohanian's site, where a copy of the full text was posted. Unfortuantely she seems to have taken it down, perhaps for copyright reasons. As far as I know the Atlantic's paid site is now the only source. If anyone knows another site, please let us know. Stacy, sorry about that.

Tue, 06 Jun 2006 16:44:07 +0000 https://organizationsandmarkets.wordpress.com/2006/06/05/the-management-myth/#comment-236 [...] Speaking of scientific management, one of Frederick W. Taylor's biographers tells us that Taylor himself was no Taylorite. Yesterday I was looking for an article by Gavin Wright and stumbled upon Wright's review of Daniel Nelson's 1980 book Frederick W. Taylor and the Rise of Scientific Management. (JSTOR subscribers can read the review here.) According to Nelson, Taylor was primarily an engineer — a very creative and successful one — with little interest in labor management. His inventions revolutionized the machine-tool industry, and he later ventured into "popular" management writing as a PR gimmick, to enhance his reputation and build a consulting practice. (We also learn that Taylor was a champion lawn tennis player, inventor of a spoon-shaped tennis racket and a two-handled golf club that was later banned, and the son of a radical feminist and abolitionist mother.)

However, the work I did in social psychology and family systems theory, which helps illustrate how business actually work, hasn't helped me either, but has provided me with a lot of insight. I haven't been able to make any money off the latter yet. ;-) I studied philosophy in college, quite successfully, and it’s done nothing to help my business career.
