Abstract

Managerial sciences are generally considered to be the art of efficiently running business. Their influence, though, extends far beyond the corporate sphere, and they play an important part in public administration and in particular in its dialog with society at large. Here, from the viewpoint of historical institutionalism, we document one of the earliest successful examples of the wider application of management science: the 1914 antitrust rules (the Clayton Antitrust and Federal Trade Commission Acts) from the perspectives of economic scholars as technical experts, the early years of the Wilson administration, and the spheres of business and society. The societal debate about business and efficiency and the successive implementation of scientific managerial ideas in the administrative sphere, saw management science permeate the whole of American society and become an almost irrefutable aspect of everyday life and representations, thereby enabling it to spread well beyond the boundaries of the firm.

《克莱顿反托拉斯法》的起草如何帮助推广效率管理方法

管理科学通常被认为是有效经营企业的艺术。然而，他们的影响力远远超出了企业领域，他们在公共行政，特别是与整个社会的对话中发挥着重要作用。在这里，从历史制度主义的角度，我们记录了管理科学更广泛应用的最早成功例子之一：1914年的反垄断规则（克莱顿反垄断和联邦贸易委员会法案），从经济学者作为技术专家的角度，威尔逊政府的早期，以及商业和社会领域。关于商业和效率的社会辩论，以及科学管理思想在行政领域的相继实施，使管理科学渗透到整个美国社会，成为日常生活和表现中几乎无可辩驳的一个方面，从而使其能够远远超越公司的界限。
