Peter Drucker fut un penseur influent dont le travail s'est centré sur le management et l'économie. Ses écrits ont popularisé le terme « travailleur du savoir » et sont crédités d'avoir involontairement inauguré l'économie du savoir, un concept qui remet en question les points de vue traditionnels de l'économie politique. Drucker fut également reconnu pour sa clairvoyance dans la prédiction d'événements historiques majeurs, démontrant une compréhension remarquable des affaires mondiales.
Nous vivons actuellement une métamorphose radicale de la société. Il est encore hasardeux de décrire ce que sera le monde postcapitaliste. Cependant, il est possible de définir les nouvelles questions qui vont se poser et les grands débats qui vont s'ouvrir. Le facteur de production absolument décisif, ce n'est plus le capital, ni la terre, ni le travail, c'est le savoir. Le défi économique de la société postcapitaliste consistera à assurer la productivité du savoir et des travailleurs du savoir. Quant au défi social, il sera de valoriser les travailleurs des services. Cet ouvrage se veut la synthèse de toute la pensée de Peter Drucker, le pape du management.

Previously unpublished talks from the Father of Modern Management Throughout his professional life, Peter F. Drucker inspired millions of business leaders not only through his famous writings but also through his lectures and keynotes. These speeches contained some of his most valuable insights, but had never been published in book form―until now. The Drucker Lectures features more than 30 talks from one of management's most important figures. Drawn from the Drucker Archives at the Drucker Institute at Claremont Graduate University, the lectures showcase Drucker's wisdom, wit, profundity, and prescience on such topics During his life, Drucker well understood that over the last 150 years the world had become a society of large institutions―and that they would only become larger and more powerful. He contended that unless these institutions were effectively managed and ethically led, the good health of society as a whole would be in peril. His prediction is unfolding before our eyes. The Drucker Lectures is a timely, instructive book proving that responsible behavior and good business can, in fact, exist hand in hand.
