Intellectually stimulating book.
This is the first book of Drucker that I had read. This is the book for all those people out there who have heard, read or come across Drucker's work in their professional life , but didn't know where to start . It takes you through almost all of Drucker's works on management right from the Management's tasks and responsibilities to the currently very popular but least understood concept of knowledge worker and their productivity. It can serve as the ideal reference book for going into depth on any of the topics discussed. Speaking for myself after reading this book I have read 3 more Drucker's books and crave for more of his works.

Drucker is a BRAND
How do you value a 60 years work condensed into a book? a 92 year old Guru in a book?This is the condensation of: The New Realities (1988), Management, Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices (1974), Managing for the Future (1992), Management Challenges for the 21st Century (1999), Management in a Time of Great Change (1995), The Practice of Management (1954), The Frontiers of Management (1986), Innovation and Entrepreneurship (1985), The Effective Executive (1966), and Post-Capitalist Society (1993).
I have to admid one thing: THIS IS MY FIRST DRUCKER BOOK ;-).
For those like me who postpone the will to read DRUCKER as confution of where to start, start from here, and follow the other area of your interest.
This is a holistic approach of management from THE MAN himself. And i would not grade less than anything best possible.
If you already had druckers book, this is a good review of the past and reinforce back his view on management.
He has interesting view on the internet ;-).
Either you are a Drucker New Comers, or Druker Veteran, this book is for you.

Don't buy eBooks
I d/l the file and after awhile the eBooks quit working. Adobe does not provide support for eBooks. Essentially wasted my money. Too bad the book looked pretty good. Similar Products
