On the Profession of Management is a compilation of Drucker's work that has appeared in the Harvard Business Review over the last 30 years. Review editor Nan Stone has organized 13 articles into two sections. The first, "The Manager's Responsibilities," focuses on the work of management, making decisions, and practicing innovation. The second section, "The Executive's World," looks at how managers should manage in a knowledge-based economy--indeed Drucker was one of the first to consider the implications of knowledge economies.
If you think Drucker has lost anything over the years, the book's insightful and provocative preface, "The Future That Has Already Happened," will surely change your mind. On the Profession of Management is an insightful and informative read, a tribute to one of the finest minds of the 20th century.
"Peter Drucker combines the clarity of a journalist, the focus of an economist, and the scope of a historian with the heart of a grandfather. His contribution to society can be glimpsed in the useful, insightful chapters of this book. Buy it, read it, and use it to make your organization the firm of the future." --Frances Hesselbein, President and CEO of The Drucker Foundation
