About this title

Review:

'Peter Drucker was the first of the analytical futurists and the first of the management philosophers. And for me he is still the best.'
Wall Street Journal
'His breadth of vision, his internationalism and his sober realism combine to make his analysis of the present and predictions about the future gripping.' The Economist
