About the author

Peter Ferdinand Drucker was a writer, management consultant and university professor. His writing focused on management-related literature. Peter Drucker made famous the term knowledge worker and is thought to have unknowingly ushered in the knowledge economy, which effectively challenges Karl Marx's world-view of the political economy. George Orwell credits Peter Drucker as one of the only writers to predict the German-Soviet Pact of 1939.

The son of a high level civil servant in the Habsburg empire, Drucker was born in the chocolate capital of Austria, in a small village named Kaasgraben (now a suburb of Vienna, part of the 19th district, Döbling). Following the defeat of Austria-Hungary in World War I, there were few opportunities for employment in Vienna so after finishing school he went to Germany, first working in banking and then in journalism. While in Germany, he earned a doctorate in International Law. The rise of Nazism forced him to leave Germany in 1933. After spending four years in London, in 1937 he moved permanently to the United States, where he became a university professor as well as a freelance writer and business guru. In 1943 he became a naturalized citizen of the United States. He taught at New York University as a Professor of Management from 1950 to 1971. From 1971 to his death he was the Clarke Professor of Social Science and Management at Claremont Graduate University.

[Şerife Tokulluoğlu · Rating 3 out of 5]

Seksenlerin sonunda yazılmış bu kitap iktisat, insan, yönetim ve organizasyon olmak üzere dört bölümden oluşuyor. Çok eski bir kitap olması, verilen örneklerin bugün geçerliliğini yitirmesi ya da benim jenerasyonuma artık pek bir şey ifade etmemesi sebebiyle yer yer sıkıcıydı diyebilirim. Değerli bir hocamın tavsiyesi üzerine okumuştum.

Perhaps not surprising but this hasn't aged terribly well. It was tough to get through for me, as much as I typically like Drucker material.

What a fantastic book! I continue to find important and very relevant information in everything that Drucker wrote. This is a awesome collection of HBR articles by this great thinker. It is incredible to think that these were written over 20 years ago and yet have the clarity and insight that is still missing in my industry.
In my list of the best business books to read: http://albertoalopez.blogspot.com/201...

I have heard references to Drucker's work from several different sources and within several different contexts. I thought this book would be good to fill in some blanks so I could understand what everyone has been referring to in order to emphasize their points. This is a compilation of all of his articles. It is an important work, but I thought the content was a little dry and it was hard to stay interested.
