The project was given a broad introduction and some limitations were encountered which did not in any way, deter us from getting to the end of this project/study. We looked into necessary texts to see “what ought to be against what is”.
We appraised some of the relevant sections of such texts by citing them in the project.
We equally gave a brief but clear history of origin and operations of Eleganza. There we found out “what is” in reality

CHAPTER ONE
1.O INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
According to Edward. H. (1976: p.146) he said that “the wind of the scientific management advocated by the Pioneers F.N. Taylor and his followers did not end at the factory where most of them were concerned mainly with the ultimate increase in productivity to the shared advantages of both the management and the workers”. He maintained that these early theories of scientific management were, however, influenced by the demand of the business environment as at that time: (a period of product scarcity)
However, Taylor and his men realized that the era of product scarcity should one-day end, a new era of product saturation and abundance would open up. This phenomenon because evident in the 1950’s and early 1960’s when most countries of the world experienced industrial revolution which brought about change in the world of industries. A change that had to be skillfully managed for industrial survival.
