Review
He was a man who persistently stayed ahead of his time. As begetter of the science of management he towered above the imitators he spawned. Guardian PETER DRUCKER was a doyen of management theory whose influence spanned eight decades. Times
From the Back Cover
There are very few writers of whom one can say they invented an entire field of study: Peter F. Drucker is one. "Management" as a concept literally did not exist until Drucker's groundbreaking work. From Jim Collins to Jack Welch, every great theorist and practitioner of management has walked in Drucker's footsteps.
And in 1974, with MANAGEMENT, he published the book that would come to define the field. In this seminal work, Drucker explored how managers--in the for-profit and public service sectors alike--can perform effectively. Examining management cases with a global eye, Drucker laid out the essentials of performance, and of how a manager interacts with their organization and the social and cultural environment in which they operate. For three decades, managers and students of business worldwide have relied on Peter Drucker to prepare themselves to meet the challenges of an ever-changing business environment. The result is a book that--while still a fundamental work--has also slipped substantially behind the current business climate.
Now Joseph Maciariello, Professor of Management at Claremont University's Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management and one of Drucker's foremost students and protégés, has exhaustively revised and updated this book to meet the needs of the modern-day manager. Almost every page contains new and reworked material that reflects the thirty years of Drucker's thinking and writing that postdated the original edition. Business examples that have now gone out of date have been reworked; commentary to explore and explain Drucker's thinking and its applications has been added throughout. MANAGEMENT is ready at last to enter the twenty-first century and continue its reign as the must-read text for every serious student of the field.

The pillar of Management Practitioners
By Luca Forni
I'd always thought Management was about practice and good examples you had been lucky to receive during your career. At a certain point of my career though, evidences proved I was not confortable with that statement anymore. I felt Management had its principles, rules, laws, but I was missing the education to prove it and sustain it among coleagues, peers, and my reports. Drucker's "Management" filled that abysmal gap and gave me back the confidence that my "feelings" were not devoid of fundaments.

By Marion E. Gold
EVERY entrepreneur and EVERY small business owner should read this book. If you read it "way back when..."--then read it again! If you've never read it, then order it today! Drucker's advice to go out and TALK to customers and non-customers is key, especially in our email-based and Internet communications era. And Drucker's advice to help others by volunteering for nonprofit agencies is critical to your business, as well as to our communities. Bottom line is if we want people to hire us, buy from us, or invest in our companies, they have to know who we are and why they should do business with us - and they have to respect us as members of the world as well as local communities.(The reviewer is author of two books: Personal Publicity Planner: A Guide to Marketing YOU and Top Cops: Profiles of Women in Command.)

Watered down version of a classic
By Werner Nicdao
I had the previous edition of this same book, which was Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practices sometime ago before I gave it to someone else. This new edition appears to have taken out a lot of content from the previous one. Something I doubt Peter Drucker himself would have sanctioned had he been alive today. I would suggest purchasing the previous edition together with this new edition for a more balanced treatment. For those who tend to think this "revised" or "updated" edition is better, I can only say "caveat emptor".
