The Taylor’s principle is not only apply for manufactory sector, but also is suitable for service sector. Although there are so many differences between the manufactory and service sector, the scientific management still is widely accept in current service sector. For instance, equalling division of responsibility is extremely helpful for service sector. For selling department, the managers should create effective sales strategy. Then, according the selling strategy, the workers sale the products. The sellers not worry about decision making, just concentrate on the daily work. The manager who were able to take the best course of action (Koumparoulis & Solomos, 2012). It avoid the unfair distribution for worker and manager about responsibility, which the managers just set the selling goal, the worker should undertake a large number of responsibility. Logically, the managers received more wages than the sellers, which means they have more responsibility and ability to undertake more duty. On the other hand, the money bonus is another important theory in Taylor’s principle. Taylor claim that “the money is what the worker wants most”（Locke, 1982.）and “piece rate system” ( Koumparoulis & Solomos, 2012). Although the piece rate have the shortage, it still reflect the theory of Taylor which manager should use the money bonus and reward system to encourage workers. Solving the conflict between workers and managers about interest also reflect this views. For example, a seller can get external rewards with sell one more product. This example is widely exist in current store, like the clothes seller in Chanel and David Jones. However, in Taylor’s system, he regards all people is economic people, which means everyone think their main purpose of working is getting more money. In fact, not all people want to work harder to get more money, like volunteers and staff in welfare. Finally, the scientific management also apply in service and financial sector. In addition, the managers have to know more theory to further understand the management, like human relationship this theory. It is harmful that the managers just use the scientific management.

In the end, the scientific management have the definitely important meaning in the history. Taylor’s principle also be accept and use by people today. The principles have the important function for manufactory sector and other sectors, like service and financial sector. Although there are some weakness in scientific management, the managers will try their best to perfect this theory and know more theory to further understand the management.
