Selected Articles from the Father of Modern Management Thinking

Management as a discipline owes much of its vocabulary to Peter F. Drucker, and this selection gathers the articles in which that vocabulary was set down. Compiled with Harvard Business Review, the collection runs across executive effectiveness, decision-making, the responsibilities of managers and the shift towards knowledge work. Each article stands alone, and Drucker's habit of stating a principle plainly before testing it keeps the pieces usable long after their examples aged. Its main draws: • A selection of Peter F. Drucker's most influential articles in one volume • Topics including self-management, decision-making and organisational purpose • Compiled with Harvard Business Review from its published archive • Standalone essays suited to study groups and management training Aimed at executives, managers, MBA students and anyone studying organisations, available in English at Boipoka.
