Deming's management philosophy stands in stark contrast to the philosophy that rules most organizations, which we call Neo-Taylorism. Neo-Taylorism is a corruption of Frederick Taylor's Scientific Management, with a strong mixture of paper entrepreneurialism and manipulation of symbols. This book treats Deming's contributions from a developmental standpoint, showing his philosophy of management to be superior morally, ethically, psychologically, practically, epistemologically, scientifically and financially. When will America, the sleeping giant, awaken to a better style of management?
