Description and Reviews
From The Publisher:

"None of the pieces in this book attempts to predict the future. All deal with what executives can do—have to do—to make the future.

It is not so very difficult to predict the future. It is only pointless "what are always far more important are fundamental changes that happened though no one predicted them or could possibly have predicted them."

So Peter Drucker begins this collection of his essays from 1991 - 1995. Yet to look at Drucker's work is to see the management challenges of today taking shape. From predicting everything from competing on information, the demand for green energy, and the rise of Chinese management, to questioning a growing reliance on "dubious real estate deals" and "derivatives gambling", the essays in this volume contain insights on business, management, and society that not only have proved to be true, but remain deeply urgent and relevant today.

If we are to prepare for tomorrow's world, we must first understand how we have met the challenges of the past. With this invaluable collection of essays, Peter Drucker offers us a chance to look forward through the lens of history as foretold by one of management's most thoughtful and prescient minds. As he concludes in the preface to this book:

"If there is one thing that is certain today it is that tomorrow's managers and executives will do things that are even more different from what today's managers and executives do. And they will do them quite differently. To enable today's executives to be ahead of this different tomorrow—indeed to make it their tomorrow—is the aim of this book."
