B3 and 7
C3 and 9
D3, 9 and 10 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 3, 9 and 10 — Items 3, 9 and 10 are not related to Taylor's scientific management, so the answer is 3, 9 and 10.
Explanation
★Items 3, 9 and 10 are not related to Taylor's scientific management, so the answer is 3, 9 and 10.
★Taylor relied on economic incentives, so non-economic incentives, item 3, do not fit him.
★Taylor rejected unity of command, favouring functional foremanship, so item 9 does not fit.
★Taylor's work is the classical theory, not the neo-classical theory, so item 10 does not fit.
★Science not rule of thumb, standardisation, piece-rate, mental revolution and the economic man are all his.
★Man as machine and division of labour also belong to the scientific management outlook.
★So non-economic incentives, unity of command and neo-classical theory stand outside Taylorism.
