Description
Peter Drucker's influence is global: his twenty-nine books have sold over five million copies, and they have been translated into nearly every language in the world. His views on management, industrial organization, business strategy, leadership development, and employee motivation have tutored not just companies but countries- Drucker served as a guru to the postwar Japanese economic miracle-and he has an earned reputation for forecasting future social and economic trends. His concepts and coinages are the stuff of contemporary management thought; they include "privatization," "the knowledge worker," "management by objectives," "postmodern," and "discontinuity" as a principle to understand this era of vertiginous change. Drucker's ideas and books gain authority from his work as a management consultant; for fifty years he has immersed himself in the manage- ment challenges of Fortune 500 corporations, museums, charitable foundations, churches, hospitals, small businesses, universities, governments, and even baseball teams-Yogi Berra was once a client.ISBN:9780684838014
