Peter Drucker was one of the most dominant management philosophers of the 20th century. Today his influence extends beyond corporate managers to publishers profiting from an extensive array of Drucker-related books. New to the Loop Campus Library collection, the following three books present fresh insights into Drucker’s wisdom.<\/p>\n

Before his death in 2005, Drucker communicated his now classic ideas by publishing more than 20 books and countless articles. He also used the podium to express his views on a diverse range of issues. Rick Wartzman presents 30 previously unpublished speeches by the sage in The Drucker Lectures: Essential Lessons on Management, Society, and Economy<\/a><\/em>. Gathered from the archives of the Drucker Institute in Claremont, CA, these lectures span seven decades (1943-2003) and cover an equally diverse collection of topics ranging from education to the world economy.<\/p>\n

The authors of the essays in The Drucker Difference: What the World’s Greatest Management Thinker Means to Today’s Business Leaders<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>were colleagues and friends of the management legend. These contributors bring not only an understanding of the man to their writings, but also a fresh analysis of Drucker’s ideas through the lens of current research. Reflecting Drucker’s extensive and prescient writings, the essays cover issues such as knowledge workers, pension funds, corporate governance, and corporate social responsibility.<\/p>\n

One of the main tenets of Managing People and Organizations: Peter Drucker’s Legacy<\/a><\/em> is that Drucker was not a specialist; he was a humanist. With this in mind, Guido Stein, a professor at the IESE Business School in Navarra, Spain conducted an “intellectual biography” of Drucker’s significant publications. Reach for this book if you want a holistic view of Drucker’s lifetime of work and his intellectual contribution to the social sciences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
