Managing in the Next Society

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.

From his first book, The End of Economic Man (1939), to this his most recent, Peter F. Drucker has been hailed in the United States and abroad as the seminal thinker, writer, and lecturer of our time on the twentieth-century business organization in all its for-profit and non-profit guises and forms. The recipient of many awards and honorary degrees, Mr. Drucker since 1971 has been Clarke Professor of Social Sciences at Claremont Graduate School in California as well as a frequent editorial page contributer to The Wall Street Journal. Earlier he taught at Bennington, Sarah Lawrence, and New York University. Mr. Drucker and his wife, Doris, live in Claremont, California.
