تعود أهمية كتاب فن الإدارة في جانب كبير منها إلى أن مؤلفها هو عَلَمُ الإدارة الكاتب والمفكر الكبير بيتر دراكر، الذي ظهر كواحد من أهم وأرسخ المساهمين في مجال الإدارة في عالمنا المعاصر من خلال كتاباته الثرَّة، وعمق نظرته وبحوثه الاستشرافية حول أصول الدكتاتورية منذ عقد الثلاثينيات من القرن العشرين؛ فالإدارة الفاعلة والمنتشرة في سائر أنحاء المجتمع جعلت فكرة العالم الحر ممكنة؛ إذ هي البديل العلمي الوحيد عن عودة الاستبداد أو الدكتاتورية من جديد. وليس ثمة من هو أطول باعًا في نشر الإدارة الفعالة من بيتر دراكر، فهو يجمع في قلبه بين وضوح الصحافي، وتركيز الاقتصادي، وسعة أفق المؤرخ.
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.
Have you ever noticed that when you learn something you start to see it everywhere? Well, as I read this book, I began taking much more note of the management styles in my company and the companies of acquaintances; in some cases to my chagrin, consternation, and befuddlement. Why, I ask, can't everyone (especially my management!) understand and apply these principles to the betterment of all?
Of course, by asking this I seem to have forgotten that I did not understand those same principles until I read them. SOooo....I suppose I can cut them some slack until I know everything. Besides it will be a good exercise in patience.
This book helped me see more clearly the role of management in this last century, to see where it came from and why, and to get an idea of where we are headed in the future.
Provides a much broader range of thought on the rise of organizations in shaping a new world, and the increasingly important role of managing those organizations - I did not realize that management as we know it now scarcely existed prior to 1850.
Parts of the passages were completed in 1993 and forecasted conclusions that may emerge in 2010 or 2020. Brilliant. I think he was spot on. Not sure many could forecast out 20-30 years the changes in the work structures.
Mr. Drucker your knack at researching history, looking at the writhing of the current system, and predict a near off future remain far better than a weather guide. Now in the future you expected to emerge - the 3rd management age of information and specialized knowledge worker is here. And it continues to shake up the current hierarchy of management.
A next order of thought is if having known with complete confidence that this future was coming what would a me of 1993 have done? What would the 13 or 14 year old have done? Not much different. Specialize. Try to figure myself out. In 2022 what are similar authors in management and technology predicting as this 3rd order matures? What will 2050 entail. My guess is either much more specialization or a dark age.
Great author. Have read most of his books. Most if not all I would read again.
