Peter Drucker revolutionized management thinking before there was management thinking. For nearly half a century he inspired and educated managers and powerfully shaped the nature of business with his landmark articles in Harvard Business Review.

Through Drucker’s unique lens, this volume presents a rare opportunity to trace the evolution of the great shifts in organizations and to grasp more firmly the role of managers in the ongoing effort to balance change with continuity. The book also offers managers and executives a collection of best practices as well as introspective questions that will help them improve as organizational leaders.

Infused with a perspective that holds new relevance today, these selections reveal a celebrated thinker at his best. Drucker paints a clear and comprehensive picture of management thinking and practice both as it is and as it will be.

Reviews for The Peter F. Drucker Reader: Selected Articles from the Father of Modern Management Thinking

"PRAISE FOR PETER F. DRUCKER: ""The man who invented management."" -- Businessweek ""Drucker gave us the language, the metaphor, the lens, the understanding of the role of management as the critical function."" -- Jim Collins, author, Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap ... and Others Don't ""Like many philosophers, he spoke in plain language that resonated with ordinary managers. Consequently, simple statements from him have influenced untold numbers of daily actions; they did mine over decades."" -- Andy Grove, founder, Intel Corp. ""The king of management gurus."" -- The Economist"
