This distinguished 30-year Claremont University professor has continuously identified critical principles in management, economics, politics, and the world in general. And he has redirected our thinking about them through more than two dozen books, including an autobiography and a couple of works of fiction. Now, with <I>The Essential Drucker</I>, he has overseen the compilation of his most important fundamentals into one indispensable book. <p> Reaching back as far as 1954 with his treatise "Management by Objectives and Self-Control" ("Each manager, from the 'big boss' down to the production foreman or the chief clerk, needs clearly spelled-out objectives" that clarify expected contributions "to the attainment of company goals in all areas of the business"), Drucker's now-established ideas take on a surprising new relevancy when remixed equally pioneering ideas from the 1960s, '70s, '80s, and '90s. Between the thoughtful "Management as Social and Liberal Art" through the provocative "From Analysis to Perception--The New Worldview" (both originally published in 1988's <I>The New Realities</I>), this book revisits some of modern management's most inspired writing and presents it in a way that should appeal to both newcomers and those needing a refresher course on Drucker's basic beliefs. --<I>Howard Rothman</I> 2086954 2001 The Essential Drucker: The Best of Sixty Years of Peter Drucker's Essential Writings on Management total:115|5:39|4:45|3:20|2:9|1:2| 115 455 241 17 0 0 false true Sat Apr 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 21:48:14 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 15:02:46 -0700 2009
