Features: This book condenses Peter Drucker's decades of knowledge, experience, and management insights. Its concise and succinct title reveals the essence of management—mission, responsibility, and practice. In the "Mission" section, it examines management from an external perspective, studying the scope of management mission and its necessary conditions in various aspects. In the "Practice" section, it shifts to discussing the work of organizations and management techniques, and in the "Responsibility" section, it explores the tasks, structure, and strategy of senior management. This book integrates the ideas from several of the author's works, representing the crystallization of his decades of management experience, insights, and reflections. It is also a summary, organization, generalization, and elevation of his previous relevant works.
Academia considers it a systematic management manual for managers (business enterprises and institutional organizations) and a systematic textbook for students and those aspiring to management careers. The book systematically explores and reveals issues related to business mission, corporate responsibility, employee responsibility, employee assets, knowledge workers, management by objectives, management decentralization, organizational design, scale, multinational corporations, growth, and innovative organizations, focusing on operational performance, the performance of service institutions, effective work and high-achieving employees, social impact and social responsibility, the work of managers, management skills and organizational management, the tasks and organization of senior management, strategy and structure.
The actions and decisions of middle managers have a direct and significant impact on a company's performance and development direction. The work of managers must include: setting goals, organizing arrangements, motivation and communication, performance evaluation, and talent development (including themselves). The purpose of an organization is to enable a group of ordinary people to achieve extraordinary things, so the organization must focus on people's strengths. The only strategy to enhance the productivity and innovation of knowledge work and knowledge workers is structural reform.
