- Esprit de Corps: Teamwork and cooperation among people are essential for an organization's success.
Specific Functional Areas of Engineering
- Research: Engineers learn about nature and codify it into usable theories.
- Design and Development: Engineers turn a product concept into a finished physical item.
- Testing: Engineers test new products or parts for workability.
Frederick Taylor and Scientific Management
- Taylor believed in a “mental revolution” for workers to see management as an ally.
- Productivity increases should benefit both management and workers.
- Taylor proposed that workers be paid higher rates per unit for increased production.
- Rate cutting should be avoided because it leads to employee hostility.

- Develop a science for each element of work.
- Scientifically select, train, and prepare workers.
- Cooperate with workers to ensure work aligns with scientific principles.
- Divide work and responsibility equally between management and workers.
