Author: Peter Drucker

Publish Date: 2005-07-01
Features: Since the publication of lt;lt;The Next Societygt;gt; in June 2002, this is the only new book by Mr. Peter Drucker released worldwide after three years, and it is a completely new creation in 2005. Drucker presents four major trends for the next decade in the book: the 21st century is the century of social welfare, global management challenges emerging Asian nations, the new management trend emphasizes the implementation of honesty and trust, and the focus of the global economy is on the three giants of the BRICS. In addition to Drucker's new insights, his central idea is that leaders can only effectively fulfill their social functions when their behavior is guided by specific values. The former includes willpower, self-discipline, a sense of responsibility, dignity, thoroughness, continuous self-improvement, and the ability to implement change as a goal. In summary, Drucker's creed is: effective management is impossible without being guided by traditional values. Like all of Drucker's works, this book is sharp-eyed and insightful about the future, making it a must-have essential reading for all managers today.
