Remembering Peter Drucker
Monday, 23 November 2009 10:22
Even from the grave, management guru and self-styled 'social ecologist' Peter Drucker still commands great influence and respect in the management world.   A recent article in the Economist details his resonating legacy in the business world, where the institutions of management and consulting have grown tremendously in the years since Drucker's heyday (without, perhaps, making corresponding progress in the quality of their work).  His emphasis on the importance of quality management in the social as well as the business sphere is reflected in the mission and work of GBSN. 
 

In the absence of more lucid ideas from current thinkers, perhaps the management profession still has much to learn from one of its greatest progenitors.

Food for Thought

“Before the financial crisis, a lot of business schools talked the talk on ethics and their contribution to society, but did not make it a core part of their program. Now they are seeing it as a key part of their curriculum. It is important that the values of excellence, leadership, integrity and social awareness are imprinted on students by business schools – this needs to be just as important as the imparting of business skills.”
