A polymath and prolific writer, Peter F. Drucker has published influential books across seven decades. Taking a humanistic approach to management, he emphasises that it is people who create business, which in turn means that they have a crucial role in modern society.
This collection gathers together key material to enable students and researchers to explore the impact of Drucker’s ideas. Also included is a new introduction by the editors and an annotated bibliography to create a unique and indispensable resource for both student and scholar alike.
'After an introduction by Western Australia based editors John C. Wood and Michael C. Wood, 27 articles and excerpts about the life and work of the eminent economist and highly influential business management guru are presented. Reprinted from journals and books published between 1965 and 2004, the selections discuss various aspects of Drucker’s philosophy; his ideas and influence in the realms of management, government, and information; and his ideas in the context of European business, Germany in particular, as well as Japan and the US. An annotated bibliography (70 pages) lists Drucker’s publications and offers a literature review citing references in chronological order and grouped under topic headings, as well as alphabetically by author. The volume is not indexed.' Reference & Research Book News
