The correct answer is: A. Scientific Management
Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915) was an American mechanical engineer who is often called the “father of scientific management”. He is best known for his work on the principles of scientific management, which he developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Scientific management is a theory of management that emphasizes the application of scientific principles to the management of work. It is based on the idea that managers should study the work that is being done and then develop methods to improve efficiency and productivity.
Taylor’s work on scientific management had a significant impact on the development of management theory and practice. His ideas are still widely used today, and they continue to be the subject of debate and discussion.

- B. Future management is not a term that is used in management theory.
- C. Modern management is a broad term that can refer to a variety of management theories and practices.
- D. Principles of management is a term that is used to refer to the general principles that underlie management theory and practice.
