Is it true that Frederick Taylor described the defining features of bureaucracy?

Question

Do you agree that Frederick Taylor best described the defining features of bureaucracy?

Answer choices

1. Yes.
2. No.

Explanation

The classic account of rational bureaucracy is associated with Max Weber: an official hierarchy, formal rules, divided responsibilities, and impersonal working relationships.

Frederick Taylor is primarily known for scientific management and the rationalisation of work operations. The statement is therefore false.
