Margaret and Alan McKillop - another hus- band and wife team of consultants, this time British - suggest in their own contem- porary book on scientific management that British employers and workers alike may have been more comfortable with pooled profit-sharing than the individual reward systems proposed by Taylor and Gantt.46 British managers and management thinkers were certainly aware of scientific management (see Chapter 6), and were happy to bor- row some of its ideas, but they were not interested in adopting the system wholesale.

Management thinkers continued to emerge in Europe right through the century, but after 1939 there were no more big ideas, no more major schools of thought - possibly excepting the industrial sociologists who followed Tom Burns and Joan Woodward (see Chapter 9) for several decades.
I argue that, apart from the fairly small group who believed entirely in scientific management and wanted to adopt the model wholesale, British management thinkers were trying to find a broader and more eclec- tic model which took account of variations in institutions and people, rather as Emer- son had tried to do in the USA.
In their study of early British management literature, Lyndall Urwick and Edward Brech were dismissive of Burton's book, but some of his ideas on general management are quite novel.18 Burton tries to take a holistic approach to the management of firms, some- thing which would characterise other British management thinkers as time passed.
