Home-Based Activity No. 1

Development of Management Science

I - Introduction:

Rederick Winslow Taylor is credited with the initial development of scientific

management techniques in the early twentieth century. In addition, several management
science techniques were further developed during World War II.

Management science is the study of problem-solving and decision-making in

organizations. You can think of it as applying the scientific method to management, enabling
managers to make decisions for an organization and improve its performance

II - Objective/s:
At the end of this home-based activity the student will be able to:
1. Familiarize the historical background of Management Science
2. Be aware of the advantages and limitations of Management Science
3. Identify applications of Management Science

III - Materials:
Computer/Smart Phone
Internet connection

IV - Methodology:

1. Search and read about the following topics:

a. Historical Background of Management Science
b. Advantages and Limitations of Management Science
c. Practical Application/s of Management Science
d. Phases, Nature and Types of Management Science
2. Make a concise description/discussion of each of the topics and subtopics and present
it in V-Result and Discussion including an active link for reference.
V - Result and Discussion:
a. Historical Background of Management Science
- The origins of management science can be traced to operations research
which became influential during World War II with the Allied forces recruited scientists of
various disciplines to assist with military operations.
b. Advantages of Management Science
- It helps organizations identify issues they must solve, streamline
management efforts, use resources more effectively, and develop roadmaps for achieving
goals.
c. Limitations of Management Science
- The limitation of management science is its inability to accurately predict
business phenomena that contain behavioral elements.
d. Practical Application/s of Management Science
- You can think of it as applying the scientific method to
management, enabling managers to make decisions for an organization and improve its
performance. For example, health care facilities can use management science to determine
the necessary information systems, while airlines can use it to schedule planes and crew.
e. Phases of Management Science
- Planning
- Problem definition
- Controlling
- Execution
- Initiation
- Leading
- Organizing
- Planning phase
- Redesign the processes
f. Nature of Management Science
- Goal Oriented
- Universal
- Integrative Force
- Social Process
g. Types of Management Science
- Democratic
- Coaching
- Transformational
- Visionary
- Autocratic management style
- Persuasive
- Consultative
- Authoritative
- Autocratic
VI - Question/s

1. Are information in Agriculture in the Philippines gathered this 2024 still can be
utilized through Management Science in 2030 and beyond, with concerns in
Agribusiness Management?

Answer: Yes, because farmers need to apply strategies in comes business to achieve more
goals.

VI - Conclusion:
Management science is a logical and analytical approach to management and how it
impacts an organization. The approach has been used in a variety of industries since its incep-
tion during World War II. By using the approach, an organization is able to identify different
management processes and whether they are working as efficiently as they could.

It can provide new ways to approach management issues and it helps streamline the
decision-making process by creating models the organization can use. While management
science can provide plenty of benefits in terms of improvements in productivity and cutting
costs, the implementation can also have drawbacks on the workplace.

Home-Based Activity No. 1

Development of Management Science

I - Introduction:

The founder of management science is Frederick Taylor. He is known as the father of

scientific management. Taylor developed four management principles; research,
standardisation, monitoring, and co-working. He is also the founder of the rational goal
model.
Management science can be defined as a problem-solving process used by an
interdisciplinary team to develop models that represent simple and complex functional
relationships and provide management guidance for decision-making.

II - Objective/s:
At the end of this home-based activity the student will be able to:
1. Familiarize the historical background of Management Science
2. Be aware of the advantages and limitations of Management Science
3. Identify applications of Management Science

III - Materials:
Computer/Smart Phone
Internet connection

IV - Methodology:

1. Search and read about the following topics:

e. Historical Background of Management Science
f. Advantages and Limitations of Management Science
g. Practical Application/s of Management Science
h. Phases, Nature and Types of Management Science
 2. Make a concise description/discussion of each of the topics and subtopics and present
it in V-Result and Discussion including an active link for reference.

V - Result and Discussion:

a. Historical Background of Management Science
- In the years after the second world war, management science was more
commonly known as operations research.
b. Advantages of Management Science
- Management science can reduce the overall efficiency of the
organization and make decision-making easier and more defined.
c. Limitations of Management Science
- It ignores the human relations aspects compared to human relations theory.
- All the assumptions cannot be realistic.
- Data and facts may not be available all the time.
d. Practical Application/s of Management Science

VI - Question/s

1. Are informations in Agriculture in the Philippines gathered this 2024 still can be
utilized through Management Science in 2030 and beyond, with concerns in Agribusiness
Management?
 Answer: Yes, because the farmers need to improve and apply the techniques with it
comes the business.

VI - Conclusion:
Management science is a broad, interdisciplinary study of decision making and prob-
lem solution within an organisation. The interdisciplinary study has strong ties to economics,
engineering, management, business administration and other fields.
Various scientific principles such as mathematical models, algorithms, and statistics
are implemented. The objective is to increase and better a company’s capital and to take more
precise and rational decisions. Management science helps organisations reach their goals us-
ing scientific principles and methods.
