Peter Drucker, RIP

by Volker Weber

The Los Angeles Times reports:

Peter F. Drucker, considered by many the "father of modern management" for his innovative approaches to leadership in the workplace, died today. He was 95.

His death was announced by Claremont Graduate University, where Drucker was the Marie Rankin Clarke professor of social sciences and management from 1971 to 2003, and where he continued to write and consult up to the time of his death.

Comments

His contributions transcend the world of business management that most associate him with. He understood that in a world organized around knowledge and information, management is critical to all human endeavour. He spoke as much to the fields of politics and government as he did to business.

He was an intellectual giant. We have barely begun to learn his lessons.

Drucker will surely be remembered for a long time.

Bloß, was hat er denn jetzt gesagt, oder geschrieben, der große Drucker? Etwas mehr Aufklärung wäre schon angebracht als bloßes name dropping.

Es gibt da so einen Dienst, der heißt so ähnlich wie ein großer Bach weit südlich von Texas. Da kann man Namen eingeben und bekommt mit viel Glück eine Ergebnisliste präsentiert ;)

Hartmut, Peter Drucker ist der Autor in der Managementliteratur. Er hat fast 40 Bücher geschrieben, die meisten erst, als er alt und weise war. Wikipedia hat eine gute Zusammenstellung. Ich bin nicht mal auf die Idee gekommen, dass man Peter Drucker erklären muss.
