One of the most influential business books of our time by the founder of modern management.

Managing for the Future brings together a collection of essays that exhibit Drucker''s most stimulating and enlightening insight and advice on the four forces that shape business: economics, people at work, management concepts and practices, and the ever-evolving shape of corporate organization.

Drucker brings clear-sighted analysis and practical inspiration to an arresting array of subjects that remain as relevant today as when he first wrote about them: the end of the era of the blue-collar worker, the lessons that nonprofit enterprises offer big business, the place of a national economy in the multinational corporate world, and the formula for excellence in American exports. Each essay yields conclusions that are timeless and insightful.
