Far-Right Antisemitism and Heteronationalism
The rise of the far right is a defining feature of our time. With nationalism and racism as its hallmarks, it is more opportunistic towards Jews and LGBTIQ people than in the past. Yet antisemitism and heteronationalism are still strong on the far right. A Marxist analysis founded on social-reproduction theory can help explain this, given Jews’ prominence in such fields as the media, and the potential threat posed to the heteronormative family by…
Landmarks of Tomorrow
Landmarks of Tomorrow forecasts changes in three major areas of human life and experience. The first part of the book treats the philosophical shift from a Cartesian universe of mechanical cause to a new universe of pattern, purpose, and process. Drucker discusses the power to organize men of knowledge and high skill for joint effort and performance as a key component of this change. The second part of the book sketches four realities that challe…
Know Your Time
Most discussions of the knowledge worker’s task start with the advice to plan one’s work. Effective people know that time is the limiting factor. The output limits of any process are set by the scarcest resource. Man is ill-equipped to manage his time. Even in total darkness, most people retain their sense of space. There are constant pressures toward unproductive and wasteful time-use. The knowledge worker must be focused on the results and perf…
Social Impacts and Social Problems
Social responsibilities—whether of a business, a hospital, or a university—may arise in some areas. They may emerge out of the social impacts of the institution. Or they arise as problems of the society itself. One is responsible for one’s impacts, whether they are intended or not. There is no doubt regarding management’s responsibility for the social impacts of its organization. They are management’s business. Responsibility for social impacts i…
Principles of Innovation
The purposeful innovation resulting from analysis, system, and hard work is all that can be discussed and presented as the practice of innovation. But this is all that need be presented since it surely covers at least 90 percent of all effective innovations. There are innovations that do not proceed from the sources of innovative opportunity, innovations that are not developed in any organized, purposeful, systematic manner. There are innovators …
Picking People—the Basic Rules
Executives spend more time on managing people and making people decisions than on anything else, and they should. No other decisions are so long-lasting in their consequences or so difficult to unmake. Managers making people decisions will never be perfect, of course. But they should come pretty close to batting 1.000, especially because in no other area of management do we know so much. Some executives’ people decisions have, however, approached…
Management's New Paradigms
Basic assumptions about reality are the paradigms of a social science, such as management. They are usually held subconsciously by the scholars, the writers, the teachers, the practitioners in the field, and are incorporated into the discipline by their various formulations. For a social discipline such as management, the assumptions are actually a good deal more important than are the paradigms for a natural science. The paradigm—that is, the pr…
What the Nonprofits are Teaching Business
Starting with the mission and its requirements may be the first lesson business can learn from successful nonprofits. The best nonprofits devote a great deal of thought to defining their organization’s mission. They avoid sweeping statements full of good intentions and focus, instead, on objectives that have clear-cut implications for the work their members—staff and volunteers— perform. Nonprofits also start with the environment, the community, …
Effectiveness Must be Learned
Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge are essential resources, but only effectiveness converts them into results. By themselves, they only set limits to what can be attained. Few people of effectiveness were needed: mainly those at the top who gave the orders that others carried out. They were so small a fraction of the total work population that we could, rightly or wrongly, take their effectiveness for granted. Most of them worked by themsel…
Afterword
The first thing to say may well be that—again contrary to what most everybody believes—it will not be a future of expanding, free markets as we have understood free markets, that is, as markets for the exchange of goods and services. On the contrary, those markets may well shrink, if only because the growth sectors of tomorrow’s society are surely going to be two knowledge areas, health care and education, neither of which has ever been, or will …
The New Venture
For the existing enterprise, whether business or public-service institution, the controlling word in the term “entrepreneurial management” is “entrepreneurial.” For the new venture, it is “management.” In the existing business, it is the existing that is the main obstacle to entrepreneurship. In the new venture, it is its absence. The new venture has an idea. It may have a product or a service. It may even have sales, and sometimes quite a substa…
Citizenship Through the Social Sector
Social needs will grow in two areas. They will grow, first, in what has traditionally been considered charity: helping the poor, the disabled, the helpless, the victims. In a transition period, the number of people in need always grows. The needs will grow equally—perhaps even faster—in the second area of social services, services that do not dispense charity but attempt to make a difference in the community and to change people. There are the hu…
From Analysis to Perception—The New Worldview
Around 1680 a French physicist, Denis Papin, then working in Germany—as a Protestant he had been forced to leave his native country—invented the steam engine. Whether he actually built one we do not know; but he designed one, and he actually put together the first safety valve. In 1946, the first computer, the ENIAC, came on stream. And with it began an age in which information will be the organizing principle for work. Information, however, is t…
The Information Executives Need Today
This chapter deals with the tools executives require to generate the information they need and with the concepts underlying those tools. It outlines with high probability the major parts of the information system executives need to manage their businesses. The chapter aims to understand the concepts likely to underlie the business—call it the redesigned corporation—that executives will have to manage tomorrow. In fact, many businesses have alread…
Entrepreneurial Strategies
As entrepreneurship requires entrepreneurial management, that is, practices and policies within the enterprise, so it requires practices and policies outside, in the marketplace. It requires entrepreneurial strategies. On the contrary, of all entrepreneurial strategies it is the greatest gamble. And it is unforgiving, making no allowances for mistakes and permitting no second chance. In most cases alternative strategies are available and preferab…
The Dimensions of Management
Business enterprises—and public-service institutions as well— are organs of society. They do not exist for their own sake, but to fulfill a specific social purpose and to satisfy a specific need of a society, a community, or individuals. There are three tasks, equally important but essentially different, that management has to perform to enable the institution in its charge to function and to make its contribution. Which includes establishing the…
The Second Half of Your Life
For the first time in human history, individuals can expect to outlive organizations. This creates a totally new challeng. One can no longer expect that the organization for which one works at age thirty will still be around when one reaches age sixty. But also, forty or fifty years in the same kind of work is much too long for most people. Manual workers who have been working for forty years-in the steel mill for instance, or in the cab of a loc…
Know Your Strengths and Values
Most people think they know what they are good at. People know what they are not good at more often—and even there people are more often wrong than right. Yet, one can only perform with one’s strengths. For the great majority of people, to know their strengths was irrelevant only a few decades ago. One was born into a job and into a line of work. Within a fairly short period of time, maybe two or three years, this simple procedure will tell peopl…
The Educated Person
The shift to the knowledge society therefore puts the person in the center. In so doing, it raises new challenges, new issues, new and quite unprecedented questions about the knowledge society’s representative, the educated person. In all earlier societies, the educated person was an ornament. He or she embodied Kultur—the German term that with its mixture of awe and derision is untranslatable into English. The educated person will have to be far…
Leadership as Work
The foundation of effective leadership is thinking through the organization’s mission, defining it, and establishing it, clearly and visibly. The leader sets the goals, sets the priorities, and sets and maintains the standards. An effective leader knows, of course, that there is a risk: able people tend to be ambitious. But he realizes that it is a much smaller risk than to be served by mediocrity. He also knows that the gravest indictment of a l…
The Entrepreneurial Business
Entrepreneurial businesses treat entrepreneurship as a duty. If entrepreneurship and innovation do not well up in an organization, something must be stifling them. That only a minority of existing successful businesses are entrepreneurial and innovative is thus seen as conclusive evidence that existing businesses quench the entrepreneurial spirit. For the existing business to be capable of innovation, it has to create a structure that allows peop…
Management as Social Function and Liberal Art
On the threshold of World War I, a few thinkers were just becoming aware of management’s existence. When Karl Marx was beginning work on Das Kapital in the 1850s, the phenomenon of management was unknown. Rarely in human history has any institution emerged as quickly as management or had as great an impact so fast. Management has transformed the social and economic fabric of the world’s developed countries. Management books tend to focus on the f…
The age of discontinuity
Management
In this classic text, Peter Drucker studies how modern-day managers, whether in business or public service, can perform effectively. He takes an international view, exploring management problems in Great Britain, Western Europe, Japan, and LatinAmerica, and suggests how these problems can be tackled. The interactions between manager, the institution and the social and cultural environment are penetratingly examined, and the book is enhanced by te…
The Age of Discontinuity
The closing decades of the twentieth century have been characterized as a period of disruption and discontinuity in which the structure and meaning of economy, polity, and society have been radically altered. In this volume Peter Drucker focuses with great clarity and perception on the forces of change that are transforming the economic landscape and creating tomorrow's society.Drucker discerns four major areas of discontinuity underlying contemp…

The Changed World Economy
T JLhe talk today is of the changing world I wish to argue that the world economy is not changing; it has already changed?in its foundations and in its structure?and in all probability the change is irreversible. Within the last decade or so, three fundamental changes have occurred in the very fabric of the world economy: ?The primary-products economy has come uncoupled from the industrial economy. ?In the industrial economy itself, production ha…
The Global Economy and the Nation-State
Since talk of the globalization of the worlds economy began some 35 years ago, the demise of the nation-state has been widely predicted. Actually, the best and the brightest have been predicting the nation state s demise for 200 years, beginning with Immanuel Kant in his 1795 essay Perpetual Peace/' through Karl Marx in Withering Away of the State, to Bertrand Russell's speeches in the 1950s and 1960s. The latest such prediction by eminent and se…
The Essential Drucker
Peter Drucker's wide-ranging book, drawn from his best work, looks at management, the individual and society. He connects these themes of today's world with his usual clear-sighted and far-reaching style to create a work which encapsulates his essential and strongest writings in one volume.Under the three headings, Drucker covers aspects such as what the non-profits are teaching business and the information that executives need today. In his sect…
The Fracturing of LGBT Identities under Neoliberal Capitalism
Historians have linked the emergence of contemporary lesbian/gay identities to the development of capitalism. A materialist approach should also look at different forms of sexual identity, and their connections with specific phases of capitalist development. Marxist long-wave theory can help us understand how the decline of Fordism contributed to shifts in LGBT identities, speeding the consolidation of gay identity while fostering the rise of alt…

Changing families and communities
Until now, most discussions on the place of lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender (LGBT) people in global civil society have focused on their access to citizenship, rather than their socio-economic rights and role in development processes. This article argues that an alternative vision of development should challenge heteronormative family structures; build alternative, queer communities; wage activist, sexually emancipatory campaigns on concrete soci…

Organized Religion and the American Creed
The unique relationship between religion the state, and society is perhaps the most fundamental—certainly it is the most distinctive—feature of American religious as well as American political life. It is not only central to any understanding of American institutions. It also constitutes the sharpest difference between American and European institutions, concepts, and traditions
Disengaging from the Muslim Spirit”
The project of the French Alliance Israélite Universelle (AIU) in Morocco in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—to win social and political equality for Jews through European enlightenment—was intertwined with the French imperial project. Moroccan Jewish women were assigned, as mothers and wives, a special role in the AIU’s efforts: to help Jewish boys and men pursue commercial or professional careers in French-dominated society. T…
Byron and Ottoman love
Byron has been seen as central to a Romantic vision of the Levant, the struggle for Greek independence and an idealization of Greek male love. Yet not much sustained attention has been given to Byron’s same-sex experience with Muslims or to the Ottoman culture of his beloved Greek boys. Byron grasped opportunities for same-sex erotic experience that the Ottoman Empire offered; yet by helping to establish a homogeneous Greek Christian state, he he…
In Defense of Japanese Bureaucracy
American policy on Japan, especially during Asia's economic crisis, is based on five assumptions that have become articles of faith for most American policymakers, Japan scholars, and even a good many business executives. But all of them are either plain wrong or, at best, highly dubious: 1. The government bureaucracy's dominance is assumed to be unique to Japan, like its near-monopoly on policymaking and its control ofbusiness and the economy th…

Influence of American Economic Policy
most unanimous in this country among those who hold that the United States must or should take the responsibility for the international order after this war. This belief rests partly on economic theory and partly on the view that economic considerations are decisive in international politics. But, above all, the belief in free trade rests on an analysis of United States international economic policy during the last twenty years. It has become wid…
The Meaning and Function of Economic Policy Today
Most people today mean not one but two things, when they speak of “Economic Policy”. Sometimes they mean the attainment of economic ends by means of political techniques: the “economic” concept of economic policy. Or again they mean the attainment of noneconomic, political ends by means of economic techniques: the “political” concept of economic policy. The first concept is the one the professional economist would be likely to use; and it is the …
The Promise of the American Corporation
A Key to American Politics
The American party system has been under attack almost continuously since it took definite form in the time of Andrew Jackson. The criticism has always been dircted at the same point: America's political pluralism, the distinctively American organization of government by compromise of interests, pressure groups and sections. And the aim of the critics from Thaddeus Stevens to Henry Wallace has always been to substitute for this “unprincipled” plu…

The Employee Society
American society during the last fifty years has become an employer society: the employer has disappeared. It is a hierarchical system in which one is related to other people through his relationship to a strictly impersonal, objective, abstract thing, the "organization," a society based on and ruled by status. This creates new institution, new social organs: management and union leadership, and new problems such as the relationship of the new so…

Modern Technology and Ancient Jobs
THE SCENE IS familiar in every under-developed country: the peasant woman returning home from the big city, riding in a bus if not in an airplane-completely at home with this technological miracle. Her son, she tells everyone proudly, is a skilled mechanic, maintaining or repairing precision machines, engines, airplanes, or electronic equipment. Her grandson may well be in engineering school, preparing himself to design, a few years hence, modern…

The First Technological Revolution and Its Lessons
Aware that we are living in the midst of a technological revolution, we are becoming increasingly concerned with its meaning for the individual and its impact on freedom, on society, and on our political institutions. Side by side with messianic promises of utopia to be ushered in by technology, there are the most dire warnings of man's enslavement by technology, his alienation from himself and from society, and the destruction of all human and p…
