What makes an effective executive?For decades, Peter F. Drucker has been widely regarded as ?the dean of this country's business and management philosophers? (Wall Street Journal). In this concise and brilliant work, he looks to the most influential position in management?the executive. The measure of the executive, Drucker reminds us, is the ability to ?get the right things done.? This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked and avoiding what is unproductive. In an executive position, intelligence, imagination, and knowledge may all be wasted without the acquired habits of mind that mold them into results.Drucker identifies five practices essential to business effectiveness that can?and must?be mastered:Managing timeChoosing what to contribute to the organizationKnowing where and how to mobilize strength for best effectSetting the right prioritiesKnitting all of them together with effective decision-makingRanging across the annals of business and government, Drucker demonstrates the distinctive skill of the executive and offers fresh insights into old and seemingly obvious business situations.

Zeit. Stärken. Beitrag. Konzentration. Entscheidungsprozesse Themen, die in zahlreichen Büchern behandelt wurden, seit Drucker sie zum ersten Mal in diesem Buch aufgriff. Doch sein Buch ist das einzige unverzichtbare Handbuch für den Manager, das die Themen mit ausreichendem Tiefgang und aus der richtigen Perspektive betrachtet, um handlungsfähig zu machen. (aus Die 100 besten Wirtschaftsbücher aller Zeiten, Murmann 2011) Viele Managementbücher handeln davon, andere zu führen. Dieses Buch zeigt dagegen, wie man sich selbst führen kann, um wirksamer und zielgerichteter zu arbeiten.Um effektiv zu sein, reichen Intelligenz, Fleiß und Wissen allein nicht aus. Effektivität ist eine andere, eine eigene Qualität. Andererseits sind aber auch keine besonderen Begabungen erforderlich. Man muss vielmehr ein paar ganz bestimmte und ziemlich einfache Dinge angehen. Das Geheimnis sind einige wenige Praktiken, die in diesem Buch vorgestellt und erörtert werden. Effektivität ist heute die Schlüsselkompetenz dafür, dass man überhaupt beschäftigungsfähig ist und erfolgreich werden kann. Erfolge im Beruf sind in allen Organisationen überwiegend die Folge von richtigem und gutem Management. Erst dadurch werden auch Talent, Intelligenz, Kreativität, Information und Wissen in Resultate transformiert.Fredmund Malik, Management-Denker und Autor des Bestsellers Führen, Leisten, Leben

Father of modern management, social commentator, and preeminent business philosopher, Peter F. Drucker analyzed economics and society for more than sixty years.

Following in the successful vein of Managing for the Future (1992) and Managing in a Time of Great Change (1995), the incomparable Peter Drucker is back with fresh thoughts, insights, and knowledge about the ever-changing business society around us and the ever-expanding management roles required of us all-chiefs, executives, managers, and knowledge workers alike.Two main themes are explored in many of the chapters in Managing in the Next Society: the rapidly expanding information shock wave that had its Internet Big Bang as recently as 1995; and the changing shape of our society to come-six major trends that are rapidly transforming our world into what Peter Drucker calls The Next Society.

Periods of great social change reveal a tension between the need for continuity and the need for innovation

The Future of Industrial Man is the only book by Peter Drucker in which he systematically develops a basic social theory. He presents the requirements for any society to be functioning and legitimate, and then applies these general concepts to the special case of the industrial society. In his new introduction, Drucker explains that his reference to mercantilism in The Future of Industrial Man can today be called neoconservatism, which, he asserts, denies rather than affirms the reality of industrial and postindustrial society.Drucker outlines the major shifts of previous centuries. He describes the move from an agrarian to an industrial economy, illustrates the structure and dynamics of this new industrial order, and warns of the abuses inherent in the system if attempts are made to maintain it under anachronistic social conventions. He emphasizes the fact that the new industrial order must operate under a "legitimate" system of po-litical power supported by social authority. He discusses the particular roles of the owners, the workers, the managers-the corporation itself-as he pinpoints the problem that he considers the most central and the most critical: how to maintain the continuing freedom of the individual in an increasingly intricate, bureaucratized world.Following the initial publication of this work, Jacques Barzun wrote in The New Republic, "Here is a book which is so perfectly planned and so transparently written as to read with almost indecent ease. . . . Each page is the fruit of much learning and long reflection. It should accordingly by studied, pondered over, ana-lyzed word by word." According to W. H. Chamberlain of The Atlantic Monthly, "[Drucker] possesses a fund of historical and economic knowledge." The Future of Industrial Man is a landmark study by a noted analyst of the modern corporation. It is of continuing importance to economists, industrial studies scholars, and profes-sionals in business.

A collection of writings from neo-classical economist Frank Knight illustrating his lifelong campaign against the irrationalities of nationalism, religious fanaticism and group conflict whilst conceding these are fundamental orientations of human action. A defence of human freedom and liberal order whilst condemning liberalism as rife with abuse.
