The research on scientific management in Portugal still needs further development, in spite of the advances carried out in recent years. Despite the huge development of these principles in the country after World War II, some important improvements in working methods are visible since early twentieth century, mainly the increasing preoccupations of rationalization in order to enhance production and decrease expenses. These early experiences are imperative to understand the introduction and the spread of a scientific system of work organization after 1945.
