Features: Peter Drucker, the father of modern management, presents this work to readers at the turn of the century, introducing several major trends in the world economy, society, and culture during the first few decades of the 21st century. These trends include population aging, the rise of knowledge workers, the and marginalization of information technology, and more, all of which will have a profound impact on management theory and practice. The author's predictions are not only based on a summary of the historical experience of Western society for over 500 years since the European printing revolution but also on his personal experience and insights gained over more than 50 years at the forefront of management theory and practice in Europe and America. This book will provide rich intellectual nourishment to managers who hope to manage their organizations effectively, as well as knowledge workers who aspire to run their careers and lives successfully.
