Seminal works in management… Concept of Corporation  The Practice Of Management  Technology Management and Society  The changing World of Executive The Frontiers of Management  The End of Economic Man  Peter Drucker on the Profession of Management Management Challenges of 21 st  Century
Ideas through Drucker’s Writings A profound skepticism about  macroeconomic  theory. Drucker contended that economists of all schools fail to explain significant aspects of modern economies.  A desire to make everything as simple as possible. According to Drucker, corporations tend to produce too many products, hire employees they don't need (when a better solution would be  contracting out ), and expand into economic sectors that they should stay out of.  The need for "planned abandonment." Corporations as well as governments have a natural human tendency to cling to "yesterday's successes" rather than seeing when they are no longer useful.  The lasting contribution of the "father of  scientific management ",  Frederick Winslow Taylor . Although Drucker had little experience with the analysis of blue-collar work (he spent his career analyzing managerial work), he credited Taylor with originating the seminally important idea that work can be broken down, analyzed, and improved.  He wrote extensively about  Management by objectives   A company's primary responsibility is to serve its customers. Profit is not the primary goal.
Contributions made Drucker’s primary contribution is not a single idea, but rather an entire body of work that has one gigantic advantage: nearly all of it is essentially right. Drucker has an uncanny ability to develop insights about the workings of the social world, and to later be proved right by history
The timeline It was Drucker who introduced the idea of decentralization -- in the 1940s -- which became a bedrock principle for virtually every large organization in the world. He was the first to assert -- in the 1950s -- that workers should be treated as assets, not as liabilities to be eliminated . He originated the view of the corporation as a human community -- again, in the 1950s -- built on trust and respect for the worker and not just a profit-making machine, a perspective that won Drucker an almost godlike reverence among the Japanese
The timeline….Contd He first made clear -- still the '50s -- that there is "no business without a customer," a simple notion that ushered in a new marketing mind-set.  He argued in the 1960s -- long before others -- for the importance of substance over style, for institutionalized practices over charismatic, cult leaders.  And it was Drucker again who wrote about the contribution of knowledge workers -- in the 1970s -- long before anyone knew or understood how knowledge would trump raw material as the essential capital of the New Economy.
Some more insights from the oracle… Drucker and MBO A manager's primary task is to manage for results by translating corporate objectives into departmental, group and individual measures of performance. “ At least once every five years every form should be put on trial for its life .”
Drucker and Marketing His most famous book is “The Practice of Management,” published in 1954.  Three questions that every company seeking to establish a brand must ask itself:  “ What is our business?”  “ Who is our customer?”  “ What does our customer consider valuable?”  What is the point of bringing a 200 pound body downtown when all you want of it is only 8 ½ pound brain?
I am more an “insultant” than a “consultant”…I scold people for a fee. Marketing should have just one concern – the customer.  Consider this: “The purpose of business is not to make a sale, but to make and keep a customer.”  “ The aim of marketing is to know and understand the customer so well the product or service fits him and sells itself.”  Best of all: "Marketing is the whole business seen from the customer's point of view."
Peter Drucker – “The Information Age” Competitive advantage is created through “information-based organizations” Four Critical Areas: Develop rewards, recognition and career opportunities that stimulate information sharing Create a unified vision of how the organization will share information Create the management structure that enables cross-boundary information sharing Ensure the continuous supply and training of staff and volunteers that can use the information

Drucker and the Non-Profits The Drucker Foundation Non-profit groups can build communities while providing valuable services and fostering innovation. "Convert donors into contributors."  Non-profit groups as leaders in the knowledge-driven enterprises that would characterize all economic activity in the future.  “ The Non-Profits spend far less for results than governments spend for failure”

Strategic Planning  Peter Drucker categorically mentioned the survival objectives of an organization under following points :- Market Standing Human Resources Management Innovation Profitability Social Responsibility. Business strategy of organizations still include above points. It still relevant as of now. Relevance of Peter Drucker Theories
Market Segmentation : Mr Peter explanation of  ‘’Who is our customers’’  still have a relevance in today's age. And it forms the basis of segmentation. Relevance of Peter Drucker Theories
Dynamics of profit : √  Profit is not the only measure of business  success. Its other unidentifiable factors such as  SWOT analysis, externalities etc are equally imp.  √  future cost, cost to cover today's unintended  operating crisis & tomorrow uncertain innovative  decisions.  √  Amt paid towards workers are not cost but investment. Profit is a  means  not an end.    Relevance of Peter Drucker Theories
Peter Drucker Quotes The art of Leadership is to align the system’s strengths and thereby make the system's weakness irrelevant.  The most valuable assets of a 21 st  Century institution, whether business or non business will be its knowledge workers and their productivity.  MBO works ---if you know the objectives. 90% of the time you don’t. The rate at which organization learn may become the only sustainable source of competitive advantage .
