lan of Management 2. what we have defined as the "Transitory" plan of management 3. management which not only is not striving to be scientific, but which confounds "science" with "system." Both its advocates and opponents have been guilty of misuse of the word. Still, in spite of this, the very fact that the word has had a wide use, that it has become habitual to think of the new type of management as "Scientific," makes its choice advisable. We shall use it, but restrict its content. With us "Scientific Management" is used to mean the complete Taylor plan of management, with no modifications and no deviations. We may summarize by saying that: 1. the popular name is Scientific Management, 2. the inspiring name is Ultimate management, 3. the descriptive name is measured Functional management, 4. the distinctive name is the Taylor Plan of Management. For the purpose of this book, Scientific Management is, then, the most appropriate name. Through its use, the reader is enabled to utilize all his associations, and through his study he is able to restrict and order the content of the term. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE THREE TYPES OF MANAGEMENT.--From the foregoing definitions and descriptions it will be clear that the three types of management are closely related. Three of the names given bring out this relationship most clearly. These are Traditional (i.e., Primitive), Interim, and Ultimate. These show, also, that the relationship is genetic, i.e., that the second form grows out of the first, but passes through to the third. The growth is evolutional. Under the first type, or in the first stage of management, the laws or principles underlying right management are usually unknown, hence disregarded. In the second stage, the laws are known and installed as fast as functional foremen can be taught their new duties and the resistances of human nature can be overcome.[14] In the third stage the managing is operated in accordance with the recognized laws of management. PSYCHOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS RELATIONSHIP.--The importance of the knowledge and of the desire for it can scarcely be overestimated. This again makes plain the value of the psychological study of management. POSSIBLE PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDIES OF MANAGEMENT.--In making this psychological study of management, it would be p
