About this title

Synopsis:

This classic volume achieves a remarkable width of appeal without sacrificing scientific accuracy or depth of analysis. It is a valuable contribution to the study of business efficiency which should be read with pleasure by anyone wanting information about the developments and place of management, and it is as relevant today as when it was first written.
Drucker provides fresh material and new ideas of the greatest interest to all applied economists and sociologists. For everyone actually employed in management, whether their work be administrative, technical or with personnel, this comprehensive study is indispensable.

*The Prize is given for 'a book which has stood the test of time as an important contribution to business thinking'. Published in 1954 this title has been in print ever since.

Review:

'It is a tour de force, brilliantly conceived and admirably carried out. It is original, stimulating and full of wisdom. Every manager in British business should buy a copy. Boards of directors might well consider presenting one to every executive.'
The Times Review of Industry
'This is one of the best and certainly the most stimulating of books on management that had appeared for some years. Those who now manage ought to read it: those who try to teach management ought to buy it.'
The Times Educational Supplement
