★德鲁克经典著作快速入门书，集德鲁克60年管理著作精华于一体

The Essential Drucker《德鲁克管理思想精要》集德鲁克毕生著作精华于一身，是一本浓缩了德鲁克几十年关于“管理”、“个人”和“社会”思考的著作。本书融社会学、历史学、哲学和经济学等领域的知识为一体，把微观管理学置于宏观世界之中，对管理问题进行根本性的思考。其间所体现的“管理是一种实践，其本质不在于知，而在于行；其验证不在于逻辑，而在于成果”的理念，这正是管理经验学派的魅力所在。

精彩书评：
★全世界的管理者都应该感谢这个人，因为他贡献了毕生的精力，来理清我们社会中人的角色和组织机构的角色，我认为彼得·德鲁克比任何其他人都更有效地做到了这一点。——通用电气前首席执行官杰克·韦尔奇

★在所有的管理学书籍中，德鲁克的著作对我影响很深。——微软总裁比尔·盖茨

★德鲁克是我心中的英雄。他的著作和思想非常清晰，在那些狂热追求时髦的思想的人群中独树一帜。——英特尔主席安迪·格鲁夫

★本书是从我60年的管理工作经历和作品中精心挑选并编写而成的。它始于1942年的《工业人的未来》，止于1999年的《21世纪的管理挑战》。本书的编写有两个目的：其一，我希望它能够为读者提供一种关于管理学连贯的并且易懂的入门介绍；其二，希望它能够为我所有关于管理方面的作品做一个总结，同时，还要回答一个我及我的编辑已经被问过很多遍的问题：“我应该从哪里开始读德鲁克的作品？哪些才是他作品的精髓？”——彼得·德鲁克

★经典经得起时间考验，值得一读再读，常读常新。它帮你理清思路，从任何新事变中发掘本质，找到历史渊源。——邵明路彼得·德鲁克管理学院创办人德鲁克百年诞辰全球纪念活动共同主席

★德鲁克先生对于管理领域的贡献并不需要我们去做注释，但是对于中国的管理者来说，他的价值却难以估量。因为德鲁克先生，管理可以变得卓有成效；因为德鲁克先生，管理者释放了自己的价值。——陈春花华南理工大学教授博士生导师

★一本优秀的著作就是一座挖不尽的宝藏，可以陪伴人的终生。这样的著作一旦诞生，就已经独立于作者、独立于时代，属于每个读者自己。这样的书是永恒的、跨越时空的。——赵曙明南京大学商学院院长教授博士生导师

Father of modern management, social commentator, and preeminent business philosopher, Peter F. Drucker analyzed economics and society for more than sixty years. Now for readers everywhere who are concerned with the ways that management practices and principles affect the performance of organizations, individuals, and society, there is The Essential Drucker--an invaluable compilation of essential materials from the works of a management legend.
Containing twenty-six core selections, The Essential Drucker covers the basic principles and concerns of management and its problems, challenges, and opportunities, giving managers, executives, and professionals the tools to perform the tasks that the economy and society of tomorrow will demand of them.
彼得·德鲁克(Peter F. Drucker, 1909.11.19~2005.11.11)，现代管理学之父，他被尊为“大师中的大师”、“现代管理学之父”，其思想传播影响了130多个国家；他称自己是“社会生态学家”，他对社会学和经济学的影响深远，其著作架起了从工业时代到知识时代的桥梁。

Peter F. Druckeris considered the most influential management thinker ever. The author of more than twenty-five books, his ideas have had an enormous impact on shaping the modern corporation. Drucker passed away in 2005.
When Karl Marx was beginning work on Das Kapital in the 1850s, the phenomenon of management was unknown. So were the enterprises that managers run. The largest manufacturing company around was a Manchester cotton mill employing fewer than three hundred people and owned by Marx’s friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels. And in Engels’s mill—one of the most profitable businesses of its day there were no “managers,’ only charge hands who, themselves workers, enforced discipline over a handful of fellow ‘proletarians.”
Rarely in human history has any institution emerged as quickly as management or had as great an impact so fast. In less than 150 years, management has transformed the social and economic fabric of the worlcFs developed countries. It has created a global economy and set new rules for coulitries that would participate in that economy as equals. And it has itself been transformed. Few executives are aware of the tremendous impact management has had. Indeed, a good many are like M. Jourdain, the character in Moliere’s Bourgeois Gentilhomme, who did not know that he spoke prose. They barely realize that they practice— or mispractice— management. As a result, they are ill prepared for the tremendous challenges that now confront them. The truly important problems managers face do not come from technology or politics; they do not originate outside of management and enterprise. They are problems caused by the very success of management itself.
To be sure, the fundamental task of management remains the same: to make people capable of joint performance through common goals common values, the right structure, and the training amid development they need to perform and to respond to change. But the very meaning of this task has changed if only because the performance of management has converted the workforce from one composed largely of unskilled laborers to one of highly educated knowledge workers.
