Summary
For more than sixty years, Peter Drucker has been the pre-eminent thinker, lecturer, and writer about change and how CEOs, executives, and managers of all kinds, from business to non-profits to government, can better manage the many business and social changes around us. But here, at the start of a new century, change is now a con-stant. In this carefully integrated collection of recent writings, Drucker takes us inside the emergence of the information society-plus six unseen trends that are changing our society in the years immediately ahead. Insightful and prescient, Managing in the Next Society is Drucker at his best.
