He is one of the most renowned management thinkers internationally, often referred to as the "master of masters." In the United States, he served as a consultant to major corporations such as the consortium of U.S. banks and insurance companies and economic scholars, as well as General Motors, Chrysler, and IBM. In honor of his outstanding contributions to the field of management, Claremont Graduate University named its management graduate school after him—the Peter Drucker Graduate School of Management.

In June 2002, U.S. President George W. Bush announced that Peter Drucker was the recipient of the Presidential Freedom Medal that year, the highest honor a U.S. citizen can receive.
