world a great service by collecting the most incisive observations
of a beautiful mind and linking them to problems that face leaders
and organizations everywhere."

pupil. Drucker would be delighted to see his theories applied in
such a cogent, thoughtful fashion."

About the Book:
As technology, globalization, and business innovation advance at
breakneck speed, the question "What would Drucker do now?" becomes
more relevant by the day. More than anyone of his time, Peter
Drucker understood how the individual, the organization, and
society are interrelated. And no one better recognized and
articulated the challenges facing all three--or came up with more
practical solutions to those challenges.
Since 2007, the Drucker Institute's executive director, Rick
Wartzman, has been asking what Drucker would do on a regular
basis-- in his popular online column for "Bloomberg Businessweek."
In each piece, Wartzman introduces a current issue and provides a
view of it through the eyes of Peter Drucker, based on his deep
knowledge of Drucker's ideas and ideals.
"What Would Drucker Do Now?" culls Wartzman's best, most timely
columns into a single volume, offering a perspective on business
and society you won't find anywhere else. Featuring more than 80
articles, the book is organized into seven thematic sections:
Management as a Discipline The Practice of Management Management
Challenges for the Twenty-First Century On Wall Street and Finance
On Values and Responsibility The Public and Social Sectors Art,
Music, and Sports
Covering everything from the federal bailout of GM and the
scandal at Goldman Sachs to the roles religion and race relations
play in a well-functioning society, "What Would Drucker Do Now?"
explores a range of subjects as broad as Drucker's remarkable mind.
Wartzman provides a smart, original, and provocative look at a
world being buffeted by change and in which all
organizations--private, public, and nonprofit--are searching for
answers. What would Drucker do now, indeed?
