About this title

Review:

`Drucker, the most enduring management thinker of our time'
Business Week
`...it would be difficult to overestimate his contribution to management thinking' Financial Times
`Peter Drucker was the first analytical futurist and the first of the management philosophers. And for me he is still the best'
Wall Street Journal
'This is a powerful book...it certainly challenges our thinking. And on finishing it, one is certainly in a different place from where one started.'
Marketing Business, September 1995
'The subject mix is eclectic, the arguments challenging and cogent and the prose simple and readable. No wonder he has dominated the field of management writing for so long.'
The Financial Times - Business Internat., December 1995
'This is essentially a book for the established and experienced, and so far ranging are Drucker's thoughts on the future, that there is something there for everyone from international statesman to proprietor of a family business.'
Modern Management, February 1996

'Drucker is the foremost and most enduring mangement thinker. It would
be difficult to overestimate his contribution to management thinking, and
this latest book again stimulates the reader by the breadth of vision and
realism. Unreservedly recommended it covers four major topics:
Management, Society, and concludes with an interview on Managing in a
post Capitalist Society.
Do make reading this book a top priority.'
