Managing in a Time of Great ChangePeter F. Drucker
 Description and Reviews From The Publisher: America's pre-eminent management lecturer and writer takes the management world inside timely and varied problems and opportunities of the 1990s. Drucker's latest book explores:
It is not so very difficult to predict the future. It is only pointless. Many futurologists have high batting averages--the way they measure themselves and are commonly measured. They do a good job of foretelling some things. But always far more important are the fundamental changes that happened though no one predicted them or could possibly have predicted them. Looking back ten years today, no one in 1985 predicted--or could have predicted--that the establishment of the European Economic Community would not release explosive economic growth in Europe but would, on the contrary, usher in a decade of economic stagnation and petty bickering. As a result, the United Europe of 1995 is actually weaker in the world economy than was the fractured Europe of 1985...But equally important, one cannot make decision for the future. Decisions are commitments to action. And actions are always in the present, and in the present only. But actions in the present are also the one and only way to make the future. Executives are paid to execute--that is, take effective action. That they can do only in contemplation of the present, and by exploiting the changes that have already happened...To enable today's executive to be ahead of this different tomorrow--indeed to make it their tomorrow--is the aim of this book.
