The Drucker Lectures: Essential Lessons On Management, Society And Economy

Previously unpublished talks from the Father of Modern Management Throughout his professional life, Peter F. Drucker inspired millions of business leaders not only through his famous writings but also through his lectures and keynotes. These speeches contained some of his most valuable insights, but had never been published in book form―until now. The Drucker Lectures features more than 30 talks from one of management's most important figures. Drawn from the Drucker Archives at the Drucker Institute at Claremont Graduate University, the lectures showcase Drucker's wisdom, wit, profundity, and prescience on such topics. He understood that over the last 150 years society had become dominated by large institutions. Drucker argued that unless these organizations are effectively managed and ethically led, societal well-being could be endangered. This timely, instructive book demonstrates that responsible behavior and good business can coexist.
