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.
