EconprophA question for my open ed peeps. In a piece I'm thinking about writing about current politics & higher ed, I want to talk about Taylorism (Frederick Taylor) & it's relationship to higher ed. Anybody w/ bus. school bkgrnd should know Taylorism but I'm curious as to whether it means anything to others w/ non-business higher ed backgrounds? @katebowles @Mweller @dkernohan @actualham @mahabali @davecormier @bonstewart
Maha Bali مها بالي@econproph @dkernohan @katebowles @actualham @davecormier @Mweller @bonstewart i learned Taylor in high school business. I daresay that Taylor's theory X (coming from business organization theory) overlaps w other terms/theories in different fields (Habermas technical knowledge-constitutive interest; neoliberalism) but I might be generalizing. Also works well to compare it to theory Y or whatever else in case ppl don't know it
