He rose quickly through the ranks, becoming Chief Engineer in , after earning a degree from Stevens Institute of Technology by attending classes at night.
In , he introduced his theory of time and motion study to the Midvale plant. This theory formed the basis of his subsequent theory of management science. The theory held that close observation of time and motion and elimination of wasted motions would result in the most efficient method of production. Taylor was a highly creative individual, with more than 40 patents filed under his name.
However, his interest in time and motion study caused him to leave Midvale in to become general manager of The Manufacturing Investment Company. It was during his time at the Manufacturing Investment Company that he created an entirely new profession: that of consulting engineer in management.
He worked with many prominent companies of the day, including Bethlehem Steel, where perhaps his most famous experiment occurred. Taylor observed workers using various implements to move coal into the furnaces, and determined the exact size and shape of shovel, and the amount of the load per shovelful, that resulted in the greatest productivity.
Bethlehem Steel equipped the workforce with these shovels and enjoyed a significant increase in productivity as a result. Taylor retired at the age of 45 to focus on promoting the scientific management method. The reason was that Google was more effective, its presentation was much more attractive, and allowed more fixed searches.
Brin and Page decided to add new possibilities to the dozen functions related to their search engine and the continuous experimentation with many others. Something really innovative was that Google allowed the users to easily locate images, newsgroups and searches using the Open Directory thematic directory tool, an international volunteer project that catalogs web pages by hand. After a few years, thanks to the popularity of Google, colleagues received a Webby, a prize.
Google was inserting new services every time, such as the search engine of products on sale in the Google network; the product search within mail order catalogs; a language translator, among other new features. When the new millennium began Google began to think about the modification and restructuring of its building located in the Californian region of Mountain View, more than a hundred employees worked in an unusual environment.
So they adopted as a philosophy: to offer a pleasant place to work and with that to motivate and retain employees. Among the renovations are yoga classes, massages, bars, free ice cream machines, food prepared with organic food by two chefs, a ping-pong table, swimming pool, two pianos, and hockey meetings twice a week. The goal of Google at that time was especially to create better search engines, extract information from unstructured sources and databases of long collections of text and scientific information.
At present everyone knows and has used Google. Although it has been censored by some countries of totalitarian politics like China. One of its characteristics is the speed and effectiveness. Now, its design is simple and direct, and without incorporating advertising in its pages that generate distraction in the users.
We must accept that, Internet users have preferred this search engine to the detriment of other, earlier, more popular ones.
Mark Zuckerberg May 14, programmer and entrepreneur, creator of Facebook. His birth name is Mark Elliot Zuckerberg. He was born in White Plains, United States. His father, Edward Zuckerberg, served as a dentist, and his mother, Karen Kempner, was a psychiatrist.
His family raised him under the Jewish religion, he had his Bar Mitzvah at 13 years old. Studied at Ardsley High School, Zuckerberg was an outstanding student. His parents saw that the young man needed a higher quality education, so they took him to Phillips Exeter Academy, an exclusive private school in New Hampshire, where thanks to his good performance and love of numbers he won prizes in mathematics, astronomy, physics, and classical studies.
One of the things he enjoyed most was attending the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth summer camp, this was a key place where Zuckerberg could give free rein to his imagination, curiosity, and wit. Zuckerberg could read and write French, Hebrew, Latin, and ancient Greek.
Another of his hobbies was training to fence and he was the team leader. The program was very successful because it had the purpose of reproducing music, as well as providing certain tools such as preference, and previous selections, which made it easier for the user to navigate it. When they began to see the popularity of the program and the good results, important software companies such as Microsoft or Apple, sought to acquire the rights, but finally, nothing came of it.
Mark independently decided to upload his application to the network, so that users can download it for free. Zuckerberg had the support of several outstanding engineers of the University of Harvard, some of the personages who helped him were Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes.
The first was the coordinator of computer science, the others were his roommates. In he entered Harvard University. Two years later, with the help of some colleagues, he launched a new website: the social network Facebook.
One of the most famous social networks worldwide today. We must mention that Facebook emerged with the initial intention of creating a connection network among students at Harvard University. The name of the website was inspired by a newsletter that many universities give their new students to meet with other students within the campus.
Mark took as a priority that Facebook allowed to add friends, with whom you could exchange photos and messages, create groups of friends. Then several modifications were made to the website. In a short time, Facebook went viral and very popular among university students.
In just two weeks, two-thirds of Harvard students had registered on Facebook, and in just a few months several students from other universities created their user. After a while, Mark Zuckerberg took the opportunity to move to Palo Alto, California, with the intention of founding his first office.
The young man had to leave the university because Facebook needed his full attention. This idea soon reached companies and colleges. In the face of success, the programmer decided to expand its services to the general public.
In Facebook had become a worldwide phenomenon, only in countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, it had about 64 million users. This is also because Facebook was only available in English. For Facebook diversified and hosted several languages, including French, German and Spanish. After that, its popularity and users grew as foam. In Forbes magazine published the ranking of the 25 most influential people on the Internet.
Zuckerberg , as chief executive of the site, clearly made part of the list. One of his biggest achievements was selling percent of the 1. In Zuckerberg made part of the 1, richest men in the world according to Forbes. And also one of the youngest wealthy. His offices in already occupied four buildings and had about employees.
Both Viacom and Yahoo! His higher income came from his contract with Microsoft on advertising. But Facebook quickly grew three times faster than its rival. The creator of Facebook has great philanthropic inclinations. He joined the campaign The Giving Pledge, an initiative commanded by billionaires Bill Gates and Warren Buffett that seeks that the great magnates donate half of their fortunes to philanthropic causes.
Time magazine mentioned him as the character of the year, and Hollywood took the opportunity to launch a biopic about a year-old character: The Social Network , based on the book by Ben Mezrich Billionaires by accident under the direction of David Fincher.
In Mark Zuckerberg married Priscilla Chan. The entrepreneur and inventor appears in the list of the richest in the world, occupying the position number 56, in , with Forbes magazine, for the December publication, named him the 21st person with the most power in the world.
His greatest goal, according to Musk, is to change humanity drastically; for this purpose, he works in SolarCity, SpaceX, and Tesla. One of his interests is the abandonment of petroleum fuels in order to reduce global warming. He spent his childhood in South Africa with his parents, an engineer from South Africa and a nutritionist from Canada.
At age 10, with his first computer, a Commodore VIC, he began to learn to programme on his own. At that time he went through difficult times; his schoolmates subjected him to bullying because of his uncommon interests for them. Elon spent his money on science fiction books, comics, and video games. A New Profession In , Taylor became general manager of the Manufacturing Investment Company and created the new profession of management consultant.
He served many prominent firms, ending with the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, where he implemented production planning, real time analysis of daily output and costs, and a modern accounting system.
While at Bethlehem, Taylor and Mausel White developed the Taylor-White system for heat-treating chrome-tungsten tool steel, which won Taylor international recognition. Scientific Publication Taylor retired at age 45 but still devoted time and money to promote his principles of scientific management. Many of his influential publications first appeared in the transactions of that society. When used correctly and in the right context, time-motion studies have the potential to make efficiency improvements, eliminating useless motions and introducing quicker ones.
Taylor also recognized "one of the dangers to be guarded against, when pay of the man or woman is made in any way to depend on quantity of the work done, is that in the effort to increase the quantity, the quality is apt to deteriorate. It is necessary, almost in all cases therefore, to take definitive steps to insure against any falling off of quality before moving in any way towards an increase in quantity.
People reacted both positively and negatively to his ideas. Many were hesitant to implement his ideas. But, when the skepticism wore off, the benefits of higher working standards were demonstrated. New standards started appearing in industries such as bricklaying, which hadn't changed in hundreds of years.
According to Hans D. Anti-Taylorism", " Taylorism " is considered a management strategy that separates thinking from doing, as managers think and plan, and workers execute orders.
