Produktbeschreibung

Management is an organized body of knowledge. "This book," in Peter Drucker'swords, "tries to equip the manager with the understanding, the thinking, the knowledge and the skills for today'sand also tomorrow's jobs." This management classic has been developed and tested during more than thirty years of teaching management in universities, in executive programs and seminars and through the author's close work with managers as a consultant for large and small businesses, government agencies, hospitals and schools. Drucker discusses the tools and techniques of successful management practice that have been proven effective, and he makes them meaningful and easily accessible.

Inhaltsangabe

There are very few writers of whom one can say they invented an entire
field of study: Peter F. Drucker is one. "Management" as a concept
literally did not exist until Drucker's groundbreaking work. From Jim
Collins to Jack Welch, every great theorist and practitioner of management
has walked in Drucker's footsteps.And in 1974, with MANAGEMENT, he
published the book that would come to define the field. In this seminal
work, Drucker explored how managers--in the for-profit and public service
sectors alike--can perform effectively. Examining management cases with a
global eye, Drucker laid out the essentials of performance, and of how a
manager interacts with their organization and the social and cultural
environment in which they operate. For three decades, managers and students
of business worldwide have relied on Peter Drucker to prepare themselves to
meet the challenges of an ever-changing business environment. The result is
a book that--while still a fundamental work--has also slipped substantially
behind the current business climate.Now Joseph Maciariello, Professor of
Management at Claremont University's Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito
Graduate School of Management and one of Drucker's foremost students and
protégés, has exhaustively revised and updated this book to meet the needs
of the modern-day manager. Almost every page contains new and reworked
material that reflects the thirty years of Drucker's thinking and writing
that postdated the original edition. Business examples that have now gone
out of date have been reworked; commentary to explore and explain Drucker's
thinking and its applications has been added throughout. MANAGEMENT is
ready at last to enter the twenty-first century and continue its reign as
the must-read text for every serious student of the field.
