How do we overcome that?

Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity but cash is king?
Volume is vanity, profit is sanity?
Production is vanity, profit is sanity?
Any one of those, I guess.

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostI did a PGDip in Management of Manufacturing and Technology. It was mostly exam based with several hefty essays that I had to send in on pretty tough deadlines. One of the subjects I had to do was ‘Industrial History’. I was sceptical at first, but it turned out to provide perhaps the most useful lessons of all. Particulary the bit about the rise of Taylorism and the ‘ blue collar blues’ of the 70’s. I recently suggested to an MBA that his rigid application of process discipline to developers and testers was reminiscent of Taylorism and was part of a rising problem of ‘white collar blues’. Expecting an angry but educated answer, I was rather disappointed when he said ‘what’s Taylorism?’ He gets an MBA without knowing that?
