Applied Motion Study
A Collection Method to industrial Preparedness

162 APPLIED MOTION STUDY that the world profits by any increase in output. The answer to the second question, that is, the decision as to the proper division of the profits from these outputs, is a question that must ulti- mately be answered by the economists also. Managers have answered it as best they could. Scientific Management answers by saying that the division must be such that the cost of the changes made by the new type of management are first deducted from the profits, and that these are then divided approximately equally between employer and employé. Naturally, the ideal di- vision is such as will pay for the maintenance of the system, and satisfy both employer and em- ployé. The division is usually, in practice, satis- factory, as is shown by the lack of strikes, and by the satisfaction of stockholders, as well as management and employés with the system itself. The average employé under Scientific Manage- ment receives a wage that increases 1. With his willingness to conform to instruc- tions. 2. With his increased skill and intelligence. 3. With the resulting formation of efficient habits.
