Features: This work, dedicated by the father of modern management Peter Drucker to readers at the turn of the century, introduces several major trends that will emerge in the world economy, society, and culture in the first few decades of the 21st century. These trends include population aging, the rise of knowledge workers, the widespread adoption of information technology, marginalization, and more, all of which will have a profound impact on management theory and practice. Drucker's predictions are not only based on a summary of the historical experience of Western society over five hundred years since the European printing revolution but also on his personal experience and insights gained over more than fifty years at the forefront of management theory and practice in Europe and America. This book will offer rich intellectual nourishment to those who wish to manage their organizations effectively and knowledge workers who aspire to run their careers and lives successfully.
