Management Challenges for the 21st Century
Publisher:
Harper Business
Author:
Peter F. Drucker
|
|
No single person has influenced
the course of business in the 20th century as much as Peter
Drucker. He practically invented management as a discipline
in the 1950s, elevating it from an ignored, even despised,
profession into a necessaryinstitution that "reflects
the basic spirit of the modern age." Now, in Management
Challenges for the 21st Century, Drucker looks
at the profound social and economic changes occurring today
and considers howmanagement--not government or free markets--should
orient itself to address these new realities.

Small Giants : Companies That Choose to Be Great Instead
of Big

Portfolio Hardcover
Author:
Bo Burlingham

Most
books about successful businesses focus on public companies,
where the definition for success is steady growth in revenue
and profits. Yet there are many excellent, privately held
companies marching to the beat of a different drum; they
have stricken revenue and profit growth from the top of
their mission statements. Instead, they define themselves
by their passion for their products and their commitment
to their employees, customers, and community—embracing
a clarity and loyalty to purpose that’s an anomaly
in today’s environment.
