Features: At the age of 90, Peter F. Drucker, the "father of modern management," dedicates this work to his readers. With his extensive knowledge, rich practical experience, keen insight, and clear analysis, he provides a visionary examination of societal progress, corporate development, and the challenges faced by managers in the 21st century, fully demonstrating the foresight, scientific rigor, and practicality of Drucker's management philosophy. This book focuses solely on the "hot topics" of tomorrow, divided into six chapters that elaborate on six key aspects: the new paradigm of management, strategy—the new inevitable trend, change agents, information challenges, the productivity of knowledge workers, and self-management. It is yet another "landmark" work in the field of management. We are living in a profound period of transformation, yet current management thinking still relies on the fundamental assumptions of the 20th century, with few paying attention to whether these assumptions are "facts." In reality, they are already outdated. If strategies are formulated based on incorrect assumptions, they will inevitably lead the organization down the wrong path. This book addresses only the "hot topics" of tomorrow—issues that are critical, decisive, life-and-death, and will certainly become major challenges—analyzing in depth the challenges faced by 21st-century managers from the following six perspectives: the new paradigm of management, strategy—the new inevitable trend, change agents, information challenges, the productivity of knowledge workers, and self-management.
