The culmination of Peter Drucker’s work. I am glad that 20 years after the book’s first publication, a reprint is available. Still very relevant today.

A very encouraging book. A long read, however extremely straight forward. Great from a job and organizational design standpoint. Great insight into “non-domain-specific know-how for management.” Learn how to ask the right questions about your company. A must read for business.

This book is only one of its kind! Written well over years ago, even today it is of utmost relevance to all businesses. Recently we have come across so many “management gurus” who propogate different theories which ordinary business managers cannot relate to. One is never sure what the assumptions have been in such studies, nor does one know the extent of their applicability to the ordinary business.
BUT WITH PETER DRUCKER, YOU ARE ALWAYS SURE!!!
Go for this book if you want to have a real insight into the challenges a company faces and the right questions to ask to overcome those. An absolute must read for anyone serious about business management!

I’ll give 5 stars for the content of the book, but why is it so small in dimentions and so THICK. I don’t understand why it was made this way. Along with this book, I have ordered four more Drucker books and the paper quality of all of them is AWFUL.

this book is just great. i find it a straightforward and no frills book. yet reading it makes business interesting and encouraging. a truly indispensable reference and guide to management, better than any textbook i have come across in terms of giving clarity to the big picture. for that i have huge respect and admiration for peter drucker.
peter drucker is just “the man” in management in my book.
