Peter Ferdinand Drucker Livres

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.

Drucker on Asia addresses: What do these economic changes mean for an individual country and its economy?

Previously unpublished talks from the Father of Modern Management Throughout his professional life, Peter F. Drucker inspired millions of business leaders not only through his famous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.

The relevance of his ideas for addressing modern business challenges remains strong since their inception in the mid-twentieth century.

The measure of the executive, Peter Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done." This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive. Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that mold them into results. Drucker identifies five practices essential to business effectiveness that can, and must, be learned: management of time; choosing what to contribute to the practical organization; knowing where and how to mobilize strength for best effect; setting up the right priorities; and knitting all of them together with effective decision making. The author ranges widely through the annals of business and government to demonstrate the distinctive skill of the executive as he offers fresh insights into old and seemingly obvious situations.

We live in an age of unprecedented opportunity: with ambition, drive, and talent, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession regardless of where you started out. But with opportunity comes responsibility. Companies today aren't managing their knowledge workers careers. Instead, you must be your own chief executive officer. That means it's up to you to carve out your place in the world and know when to change course. And it's up to you to keep yourself engaged and productive during a career that may span some 50 years. In Managing Oneself , Peter Drucker explains how to do it. The keys: Cultivate a deep understanding of yourself by identifying your most valuable strengths and most dangerous weaknesses; Articulate how you learn and work with others and what your most deeply held values are; and Describe the type of work environment where you can make the greatest contribution. Only when you operate with a combination of your strengths and self-knowledge can you achieve true and lasting excellence. Managing Oneself identifies the probing questions you need to ask to gain the insights essential for taking charge of your career. Peter Drucker was a writer, teacher, and consultant. His 34 books have been published in more than 70 languages. He founded the Peter F. Drucker Foundation for Nonprofit Management, and counseled 13 governments, public services institutions, and major corporations.

Peter F. Drucker, gebürtiger Wiener, gilt als Vordenker des modernen Managements und als einer der renommiertesten Wirtschaftsautoren unserer tage. Diesen Ruf hat er sich nicht zuletzt durch seine bahnbrechenden Artikel in der 'Harvard Business Review' erworben, von denen sechs mit dem McKinsey Award ausgezeichnet wurden.

Nová kniha nejvýznamnějšího představitele moderního světového managementu přináší to nejpodstatnější a nejlepší z jeho bohatého celoživotního díla. Toto Druckerovo "ohlédnutí do budoucnosti" pojmenovává základní východiska a principy managementu a jeho úkoly, problémy, výzvy a příležitosti, takže všem profesionálům dává do rukou spolehlivý nástroj, který jim umožní čelit novým nárokům ekonomického a společenského vývoje. Méně obeznámeným čtenářům poskytuje vynikající úvod do managementu, jakož i do podrobnějšího studia Druckerova díla.

Zeit. Stärken. Beitrag. Konzentration. Entscheidungsprozesse Themen, die in zahlreichen Büchern behandelt wurden, seit Drucker sie zum ersten Mal in diesem Buch aufgriff. Doch sein Buch ist das einzige unverzichtbare Handbuch für den Manager, das die Themen mit ausreichendem Tiefgang und aus der richtigen Perspektive betrachtet, um handlungsfähig zu machen. (aus Die 100 besten Wirtschaftsbücher aller Zeiten, Murmann 2011) Viele Managementbücher handeln davon, andere zu führen. Dieses Buch zeigt dagegen, wie man sich selbst führen kann, um wirksamer und zielgerichteter zu arbeiten. Um effektiv zu sein, reichen Intelligenz, Fleiß und Wissen allein nicht aus. Effektivität ist eine andere, eine eigene Qualität. Andererseits sind aber auch keine besonderen Begabungen erforderlich. Man muss vielmehr ein paar ganz bestimmte und ziemlich einfache Dinge angehen. Das Geheimnis sind einige wenige Praktiken, die in diesem Buch vorgestellt und erörtert werden. Effektivität ist heute die Schlüsselkompetenz dafür, dass man überhaupt beschäftigungsfähig ist und erfolgreich werden kann. Erfolge im Beruf sind in allen Organisationen überwiegend die Folge von richtigem und gutem Management. Erst dadurch werden auch Talent, Intelligenz, Kreativität, Information und Wissen in Resultate transformiert. Fredmund Malik, Management-Denker und Autor des Bestsellers Führen, Leisten, Leben

Drucker zu den Themen Management, Individuum und Gesellschaft in einem Band: Grundlegendes und Prophetisches zu Problemen, Herausforderungen und Möglichkeiten im Management, zu Stärken und Werten des Einzelnen und zum gesellschaftlichen Wandel. »Was ist Management?« ist eine gründliche und verständliche Einführung in das große Thema Management und gibt einen Überblick über das Lebenswerk von Peter F.

Jahrhundert« (1999).

Autor líčí životní osudy a příběhy známých či méně známých osobností (byznysmenů, vědců, politiků, ale i vlastních přátel), jež svými činy a myšlenkami mimořádným způsobem vyjadřovaly charakter doby.

Lernen von dem Besten! Charakter, intellektuelle Integrität, Verantwortung, Pflichtgefühl, Würde, permanente Selbstentwicklung und die Fähigkeit, Wandel gezielt zu forcieren - das Credo von Peter F. Drucker, dem "Vater des Managements". Erfolgreiche Top-Manager wie Hermann Simon, Mathias Döpfner, Bill Emmott und Fredmund Malik berichten von Druckers Einfluss auf ihr persönliches Handeln.

Hermann Simon fordert mehr Weitblick im Wirtschaftsleben und betont die Bedeutung von strategischem Denken. Er beleuchtet zeitlose Prinzipien in Bereichen wie Personal, Marketing und Innovation. Peter F. Drucker lobt das Buch als anregend für Manager, um Denken und Nachdenken zu fördern.

Peter Drucker ist der größte Managementvordenker aller Zeiten und seine Lehren gültig wie nie. Woran liegt das? Als Erster hat er gezeigt, dass Management gelernt werden kann: Manager ist ein Beruf, keine Berufung. Und wie kein anderer machte Peter Drucker deutlich, dass Manager eine soziale Verantwortung haben und Management eine gesamtgesellschaftliche Größe ist - in Unternehmen, Institutionen, Verwaltungen. Diese komplett neu strukturierte und in die Gegenwart fortgeschriebene Ausgabe von "Management" enthält Peter Druckers vollständige Managementlehre und damit alles, was eine Führungskraft heute braucht.

Zeitlose Weisheit zugeschnitten auf die Bedürfnisse von heutigen Führungskräften - das bietet der Ableger des erfolgreichen Buches „Die fünf entscheidenden Fragen des Managements“ von Peter Drucker. Basierend auf diesem Klassiker werden wieder die 5 entscheidenden Fragen zusammengestellt. Gleichzeitig bietet das Buch aber auch noch eine neue Perspektive für Führungskräfte, die noch neu auf ihrer Position sind. Indem sie sich die Fragen „Was ist unsere Mission?“, „Wer ist unser Kunde?“, „Worauf legt der Kunde wert?“, „Was sind unsere Ergebnisse?“ und „Was ist unser Plan?“ stellen, können die Nachwuchsmanager besser verstehen, warum sie machen, was sie machen, und wie sie ihre Arbeit verbessern können.

Pojem diskontinuita zavedl do managementu Peter F. Drucker, když v roce 1968 vydal knihu „Věk diskontinuity“. Drucker říká, že kontinuita - ve smyslu spojitost, návaznost či nepřetržitost - ve společnosti i ekonomice skončila a nastává období zlomů, změn a nespojitosti. Trendy v podnikání i v životě společnosti se začnou rychle měnit a bude obtížné, ne-li nemožné je předvídat. Drucker chápe diskontinuitu především jako „závažné změny v podstatě sociální a kulturní reality“. V uvedené knize Drucker definuje čtyři faktory způsobující diskontinuitu: Nové technologie - vznikají v důsledku prudkého rozvoje přírodních (zejména fyzika, chemie i biologie) i společenských věd (zejména psychologie a sociologie) Změny světové ekonomiky - ekonomika se posunula od národní a regionální úrovně na světovou úroveň Nové uspořádání společnosti a politiky - vzniká nový pluralismus institucí - jak veřejných, tak soukromých i neziskových - a objevuje se důraz na sociální odpovědnost nejen firem, ale všech institucí a organizací Klíčovým zdrojem se staly znalosti - vzniká společnost a ekonomika založená na znalostech, jako klíčovém zdroji ekonomického růstu i sociálního rozvoje, Drucker přichází s pojmem znalostní společnost (knowledge society) a znalostní pracovník (knowledge worker)

Nejnovější z ""bilančních"" titulů významného světového autora a myslitele je reprezentativním průřezem jeho dílem na téma společenství, společnosti a politické struktury (nástup totalitarismu, nový pluralismus, podniková organizace jako společenská instituce, společnost znalostí atd.). Výbor přináší Druckerovy starší i poprvé uveřejňované práce a studie a je jak jedinečným průvodcem Druckerovým sociologickým a politologickým dílem, tak i vhodným úvodem do jeho studia. Originalita autorova myšlení a jeho důvěrná a hluboká znalost světových politických, kulturních a duchovních dějin budou mimořádným překvapením pro čtenáře, kteří jej znají především jako autora knih o managementu a podnikání. Překlad z angličtiny Irena Grusová a Pavel Medek. (vybrané eseje o společenství, společnosti a politickém systému)

Peter Drucker ist heute der weltweit bekannteste Managementdenker. Dabei sah zunächst alles anders aus: Als Allround-Journalist war Drucker für Auslands- und Wirtschaftsnachrichten tätig. Daneben betreute er fast ein Jahr lang die „Seite für die Frau“. Außerdem absolvierte er eine komplette akademische Laufbahn - in Frankfurt machte er seinen juristischen Doktor. Durch seine wissenschaftlichen Werke wurde General Motors auf Drucker aufmerksam und beauftragte ihn damit, die Struktur des Unternehmens zu untersuchen. Druckers Analysen von Großunternehmen schufen die Grundlagen für das moderne Management. Seine Erzählungen sind eng verwoben mit der europäischen Zeitgeschichte: Ausgehend von seiner Jugend in Wien schildert Peter Drucker, wie er Europa erlebt hat. 1933 emigrierte er aus Deutschland - Großbritannien und die USA waren seine nächsten Stationen. Das Buch ist die vollständige Übersetzung von Adventures of a Bystander und damit eine Erweiterung der früheren Ausgabe aus dem Econ-Verlag Zaungast der Zeit (1981). Im Vergleich zur dama-ligen Ausgabe sind zwei Kapitel neu übersetzt und Peter Drucker schreibt ein aktuelles Vorwort.
