Features: The purpose of employing managers in an organization is to execute and take effective actions. Managers must fulfill their mission by thinking and leveraging the changes that have already occurred. Over the past 50 years, the assumptions, principles, and conventions of management that were once taken for granted have changed. Information has become a new management tool, a critical resource for managers, and the foundation of the organization. In the global economy, new power centers, emerging markets, and industries are constantly emerging. In this era of transformation, the greatest changes are those in society and government.
For half a century, Mr. Peter Drucker has been a trusted mentor, advisor, and guide for senior managers in businesses, public institutions, and governments. With keen insight into socioeconomic forces and rich practical experience, he excels at integrating the two, guiding organizational leaders to seize fleeting opportunities in a complex world. Since 1939, he has written a series of enduring management classics, which naturally form a complete set of management literature.
This book is divided into 24 chapters, with two interviews placed at the beginning and end of the book serving as a springboard and a finishing touch. It discusses the management challenges people face in management, organization, economics, and society.
