Même si la conduite des actions collectives existe depuis que les hommes vivent en société, la formalisation du management est relativement récente.	Although collective activity has been going on ever since mankind started living in social groups, its management has been formalised only relatively recently.
Elle débute entre 1880 et 1920, lorsqu'apparait la figure du dirigeant salarié.	It began between 1880 and 1920, when salaried managers came on the scene.
Jusque là, depuis la révolution industrielle, les chefs d'entreprise étaient essentiellement des entrepreneurs ou leurs héritiers.	From the industrial revolution until then, company bosses had essentially been entrepreneurs or the descendants of entrepreneurs.
Or, certains de ces héritiers propriétaires préfèrent déléguer la direction de leurs entreprises à des salariés formés pour la circonstance, ce qui suscite la publication des premiers ouvrages spécialisés.	But then some of these descendant owners began to prefer delegating the management of their organisations to salaried staff trained for the role, which led to the publication of the first specialised texts.
Vers la fin du xixe siècle, Frederick Taylor propose le concept d'organisation scientifique du travail.	Towards the end of the nineteenth century, Frederick Taylor developed the system of scientific management.
Celui-ci repose sur la décomposition du travail en gestes élémentaires chronométrés et organisés rationnellement pour former une chaîne de production.	Its basis was the breaking down of work into its most basic elements, which were then organised into a logical production line.
Taylor désirait appliquer les principes généraux d'amélioration de la productivité par la division du travail à l'entreprise qu'Adam Smith avait soulignés (avant lui Platon51 au niveau de la société).	Taylor sought to apply the general principles of productivity improvement through the division of labour within the organization, as proposed by Adam Smith (and Plato in "The Republic" before him, in the context of society).
Il partage aussi l'idée avec Henry Ford qu'une augmentation des rendements peut être obtenue en contrepartie de bons salaires.	He also shared with Henry Ford the idea that output could be increased by paying good salaries.

Certains d'entre eux étaient déjà dignes d'intérêt par eux-mêmes, mais c'est surtout Ellington qui les transformait.	Some were already noteworthy in their own right, but it was, above all, Ellington who was to transform them.
