Answer 1

Answer:

C. C. F.W. Taylor

The management expert who defined management as "the art of knowing what you want to do and then seeing that it is done in the best and cheapest way" is Frederick Winslow Taylor.

This definition is a cornerstone of his theory of Scientific Management, which emphasized a systematic and scientific approach to industrial efficiency. His focus was on replacing traditional "rule of thumb" methods with scientifically studied, optimized processes to maximize productivity and minimize waste.
