Management

The essential desk reference for every manager, now completely revised and updated for the first time in the three decades since its initial publication. Legendary thinker Peter F. Drucker literally created the concept of management. In this seminal work, he explored how managers in the for-profit and public service sectors alike can perform effectively. Now Joseph Maciariello, Horton Professor of Management at Claremont University’s Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management and Director of Research at the Peter F. Drucker Institute, as well as one of Drucker’s foremost colleagues and proteges, has exhaustively revised and updated this book to reflect the more than 30 years of development in Drucker’s analysis and thinking since its initial publication. The result is a work designed to meet the needs of the modern-day manager or student of business. Business examples that are now out of date have been reworked; Drucker’s thinking on ideas as diverse as the manager’s role within the organization, the relationship of management and society, and the future of management have been expanded and clarified. Management is ready at last to enter the 21st Century and continue its reign as a must-read text and essential reference for managers worldwide.
