These drawbacks resulted from the vague property rights system, the administrative overreach of internal management systems of the state-owned enterprises, and the development of the professional human resource market management. Responding to these problems, scholars such as Liao (1998) and Chang (1995) conducted a comprehensive analysis of HR management by exploring the influence of the national human resource laws and policies.

The scientific management theory is being considered as a continuous improvement even in the 21st century. The scientific management theory is used by managers to improve efficiency and productivity.
