Features: This is a complex work that integrates Drucker's profound wisdom in management, sociology, political science, history, and psychology. It is a realistic work, offering a comprehensive, unique, and in-depth analysis of the emerging industrial society at the time. What's most important is that it not only presents problems but also provides key insights into their solutions. It is a prophetic work, as mentioned by the author in the preface and afterword, many of the significant trends and ideas revealed in this book have become reality within a few years or a decade. It is a highly influential work, as Drucker himself pointed out, this work had an extremely significant impact in Japan. It is a work that still needs further exploration, a vast treasure trove of thought, after all, it embodies Drucker's multi-dimensional wisdom. Perhaps, a glimpse of its ideas could be the golden key to unlocking a new concept for us.
This collection consists of three books: Personal Management, Organizational Management, and Social Management. It was compiled by Mr. Shigeru Odate, who has long served as the Japanese translator of Drucker's works, selecting the essence from all of Drucker's writings, especially the new works from the past decade. The collection comprehensively covers Drucker's management philosophy, systematically condensing his thoughts, which can be described as "three leaves reveal the autumn." As a result, it received Drucker's personal approval and praise.
After its release in Japan, this collection immediately became one of the best-selling management books in the country at the time.
