The Principles of Scientific Management

The book explores the critical need for national efficiency alongside resource conservation, as highlighted by President Roosevelt's address to the Governors. It emphasizes the urgency of addressing the visible depletion of natural resources like forests and minerals, while also shedding light on the less apparent but significant waste of human effort due to inefficiency and poor direction. The text advocates for a comprehensive understanding of both conservation and efficiency as interconnected issues vital for the nation's progress and sustainability.
