Features: This book condenses Drucker's decades of knowledge, experience, and management insights, with its concise and succinct title revealing the essence of management—mission, responsibility, and practice. In the "Mission" section, it examines management from an external perspective, studying the scope of management's mission and its necessary conditions in various aspects. In the "Practice" section, it shifts to discuss the work of organizations and management techniques, and in the "Responsibility" section, it explores the tasks, structure, and strategy of senior management. This book integrates the ideas from several of the author's works, representing the crystallization of his decades of management experience, insights, and thoughts, as well as a summary, refinement, generalization, and elevation of his previous relevant theories. It is regarded by academia as a systematic management manual for managers (business enterprises and institutional organizations) and also a systematic textbook for students and those aspiring to management careers. The book systematically explores and reveals issues such as business performance, the performance of service organizations, effective work and achieving results for employees, social impact and social responsibility, the work of managers, management skills and organizational management, the tasks and organization of senior managers, strategy and structure, and more. The actions and decisions of middle managers have a direct and significant impact on the performance and development direction of the enterprise. The work of managers must include: setting goals, organizing arrangements, motivation and communication, performance evaluation, and talent development (including oneself). The purpose of an organization is to enable a group of ordinary people to achieve extraordinary accomplishments, so the organization must focus on people's strengths. To enhance the productivity and innovation of knowledge workers, the only strategy is structural reform.
