From The Economist print edition
The one management thinker every educated person should read
ON NOVEMBER 11th, a few days short of his 96th birthday, Peter Drucker
died. The most important management thinker of the past century, he
wrote about 40 books (the last, "The Effective Executive in Action"
will be published in January) and thousands of articles. He was a guru
to the world's corporate elite, not just in his native Europe and his
adoptive America, but also in Japan and the developing world (one
devoted South Korean businessman even changed his first name to Mr
Drucker). And he never rested in his mission to persuade the world that
management matters-that, in his own rather portentous formula,
"Management is the organ of institutions...the organ that converts a
mob into an organisation, and human efforts into performance."
Did he succeed? The range of his influence was extraordinary. George
Bush is a devotee of Mr Drucker's idea of "management by
objectives". ("I had read Peter Drucker," Karl Rove once told the
Atlantic Monthly, "but I'd never seen Drucker until I saw Bush in
action.") Newt Gingrich mentions him in almost every speech. Mr
Drucker helped to inspire privatisation-an idea that in the 1980s
galvanised Britain's sclerotic economy.
