Correct Answer: Centralization


Solution : Frederick Taylor's principles of scientific management emphasize the importance of standardization, division of labor, and efficiency. These principles focus on improving productivity and efficiency by analyzing and optimizing work processes. Centralization is not a principle of scientific management, as it refers to the concentration of decision-making authority in the hands of a few individuals, which goes against the idea of empowering workers and improving efficiency through collaboration and teamwork.

Achieve complete harmony between management and workers to attain organisational goals is known as harmony not discord.

Hence, option C is correct.
