From the Back Cover
"Peter Drucker, whose prolific writings and profound insights date back to the 1930s with his prescient treatise on the origins of totalitarianism, stands as one of the most significant and consistent contributors to the functioning of our modern world. Effective management dispersed throughout society makes a free world possible and is the only workable alternative to a resurgence of tyranny or dictatorship, and no one has done more to increase widespread management effectiveness than Peter Drucker. This book provides a wonderful selection of his contributions." --Jim Collins, Co-author of Built to Last
"Peter Drucker combines the clarity of a journalist, the focus of an economist, and the scope of a historian with the heart of a grandfather. His contribution to society can be glimpsed in the useful, insightful chapters of this book. Buy it, read it, and use it to make your organization the firm of the future." --Frances Hesselbein, President and CEO of The Drucker Foundation
Reviews
Drucker, the indefatigable management guru who is now nearing 90 and who has 29 books to his credit, can be permitted an encore or two. In 1996, The Executive in Action brought together Managing for Results (1964), Innovation and Entrepreneurship (1985), and The Effective Executive (1966)--two of which were written before some of today's executives were even born. This year will also see Jack Beatty's The World According to Peter Drucker, a biography and grand summation of Drucker's writings. The Harvard Business Review has been one of Drucker's primary venues; since 1950, 32 articles written by him have appeared there. Now Harvard Business Review editor Nan Stone has selected 13 of the most significant of those articles. Together, here, they demonstrate how the fundamental work of management has remained constant but also how the "knowledge economy" has added new challenges. David Rouse
