The Level 2 interviews gave some insight into why some countries may have stalled in the progress with adoption of the integrated approach (Box ).

Under scientific management Library of Congress Taylor 1911 the initiative of the workmen that is their hard work their good-will and their ingenuity is obtained with absolute uniformity and to a greater extent than is possible under the old system and in addition to this improvement on the part of the men the managers assume new burdens new duties and responsibilities never dreamed of in the past. The managers assume for instance the burden of gathering together all of the traditional knowledge which in the past has been possessed by the workmen and then of classifying tabulating and reducing this knowledge to rules laws and formula which are immensely helpful to the workmen in doing their daily work. In addition to developing a science in this way the management take on three other types of duties which involve new and heavy burdens for themselves. These new duties are grouped under four heads First. They develop a science for each element of a man s work which replaces the old rule- of-thumb method. Second. They scientifically select and then train teach and develop the workman whereas in the past he chose his own work and trained himself as best he could. Third. They heartily cooperate with the men so as to insure all of the work being done in accordance with the principles of the science which has been developed. Fourth. There is an almost equal division of the work and the responsibility between the management and the workmen. The management take over all work for which they are better fitted than the workmen while in the past almost all of the work and the greater part of the responsibility were thrown upon the men.
