Drucker: Relevant Then , Relevant now

Recently I purchased a book by Peter Drucker “The practice of Management”. Having only read him as a student earlier, and now after professional experience of few years, I have come to respect and realize the simplicity and insight of management that only a genius can provide.

Peter drucker comes across more as a management philosopher rather than an expert. Anyone dealing with the dilemmas of management should visit his ideas, and I am sure they would come up with a clarity that they did not possess before reading.

I particularly liked the chapter on structure where every management should look at three aspects - Activity analysis, Decision analysis and relation analysis.

Surely Drucker is as relevant in 2010 as he was in the 1950s.
