Answer 1

Functional foremanship

Explanation:

• Functional foremanship is not a principle of scientific management or principle given by Taylor. it is a technique of scientific management.
• In this technique, Taylor identified a list of qualities of a good foreman/supervisor and found that no single person could fit them all. This prompted him to suggest functional foremanship through eight persons.
