Abstract :Many of the Indian authors in the field of Management studies proposes for four principles of scientific management and fourteen principles of general management. Even the university questions and the answer keys for evaluation show the confusion in this area. But there are few authors who opine that Taylor has contributed more to principles of management. This paper attempts to give an outlook into the contributions of Fredrick Winslow Taylor as far as management principles are concerned. The study is based on his two classic books written in 1990s. This article also aims to make certain suggestions for the avoidance of such confusions on the part of students of management studies.
