    Managing in the Next Society

     
    Peter Drucker looks to the future.
    8/5/2002
    If you've ever for a second doubted his credentials as a commentator on long-term change, consider this: As Drucker describes in the preface, he remembers lessons learned long ago as a young trainee on Wall Street. In 1929. Before the Crash. The next society, predicts management's eminence grise, will be very different from today but driven less by information technology than we might suppose. As always, he says, managers will need to confront theories, ideologies, problems: That's the given. All Drucker's essays in this collection have previously appeared in The Economist, Foreign Affairs, Business 2.0, Harvard Business Review, and other magazines. The collection, his first since 1995's Managing in a Time of Great Change, showcases Drucker's unique ability to cut through the white noise of conflicting views and point the way to good sense.
