Description
Peter Drucker's wide-ranging book, drawn from his best work, looks at management, the individual and society. He connects these themes
of today's world with his usual clear-sighted and far-reaching style to create a work which encapsulates his essential and strongest
writings in one volume.
Under the three headings, Drucker covers aspects such as what the non-profits are teaching business and the
information that executives need today. In his section on the individual he gives advice on knowing your own strengths and values, your
time and, intriguingly, the second half of your life. The third part on society encompasses the coming of the entrepreneurial society
and citizenship through the social sector.
