The functions and roles of profit, the functions and roles of management, the view of labor as a resource, and the necessity of creating a factory community in this book had a profound impact on Japanese enterprises. To appreciate the spiritual power of Peter Drucker, one must start from the source of his thoughts, from his early works. The Trilogy of Industrial Society—The Future of Industrial Man, The Concept of the Corporation, and The New Society—allows people to understand the nature of industrial society, its internal structure and operating mechanisms, and the overall picture of the basic unit of industrial society—the enterprise and its management.
Four analyses of industrial society order issues: economic conflict, management and labor unions, factory communities, and management function issues. Four basic principles of industrial order: eliminating poverty, federal management organizations, the autonomy of factory communities, and labor unions as citizens.
This is a complex work that integrates Drucker's profound wisdom in management, sociology, political science, history, and psychology. This is a realistic work, a comprehensive, unique, and profound analysis of the emerging industrial society at that time. Most importantly, it not only presents problems but also provides key points for answers. This is a prophetic work, as mentioned by the author in the preface and afterword, many of the important trends and ideas revealed in this book have become reality in just a few years. This is a highly influential work, as the author points out, it once had an extremely significant impact on Japan. This is a work that still needs to be explored further, it is a vast treasure trove of thought, after all, it embodies Drucker's multi-dimensional wisdom. Perhaps, a glimpse of its thoughts may be the golden key to opening up a new idea for us.
